N. V. Por La Paz Mundial
Nacho Vegas
N. V. For World Peace
The conflict has already erupted
and they won't ask:
Are you ready?
Ready to march?
Hear greetings from Heaven,
greetings from the End.
Today Bambino
and old Konstantino
drink and make love
(and we are here).
There is no world war,
no drug capable
of ending this obsession.
We will meet in glory
and maybe there we will discover the song
that brings us peace.
Another battle is fought
and boredom is deadly.
To this day
another one just like it will follow.
And you, standing at the door,
asked me like this:
-Where are we going?-
-Deeper in-, I replied.
(And obviously then I sank
deeper and deeper.)
There is no world war
nor chemical weapon capable
of killing something so intense.
We will sing with the victims
a blues that sounds from here to eternity
and brings us the light.
Another night
believing I'm Captain Ahab...
No, there is no world war,
no drug capable
of killing all this pain.
We will meet in glory
and maybe there we will discover the song
that brings us peace.
