Survivor

Aquella detonante noche,
mientras veía tras la ventana,
un suspiro en gritos de ahogo,
nada que decir ante lo que miraba.

_{That triggering night,

as I looked out the window,

a sigh in choking cries,

nothing to say to what I was looking at.}

But then

Sabia que todo iba a cambiar,
pero no que mi vida daría vuelco,
era el inicio de una grandeza,
pero también algo lleno de infierno.

_{I knew that everything was going to change,

but not that my life would be turned upside down,

it was the beginning of greatness,

but also something full of hell.}

he wasn't

Cuerpo con almas inútiles,
que deambulan usándose entre si,
perpetrando la moral de aquellos
de lo que fueron y una vez fui.

_{Body with useless souls,

wandering around using each other,

perpetrating the morals of those

of what they were and once was.}

the only survivor

Balas abriéndose paso por el aire,
cortando todo a su pasar,
como si no hubiera limite alguno,
ni conciencia antes de accionar.

_{Bullets tearing through the air,

cutting everything in their path,

as if there were no limit,

no conscience before acting.}

he was

Viscosa la sangre
de manos totalmente manchadas,
actores de tales fechorías,
que se esconden como alimañas.

_{Viscose the blood

of totally stained hands,

actors of such misdeeds,

who hide like vermin.}

the perfect

Están muy cerca de mi,
por no decir que frente mío,
pero no hay que perder cordura,
solo poner un tanto de mano dura.

_{They are very close to me,

not to say in front of me,

but we must not lose our sanity,

just a bit of a firm hand.}

bait

Perderán aquella confianza,
que tras veces intente ganar,
firme deben ser mis palabras,
cuando a ellos me deba expresar.

_{They will lose that trust,

that I have tried so many times to gain,

my words must be firm,

when I must express myself to them.}

to gain

Un pueblo de números infinitos,
es lo siento bajo responsabilidad,
aun cuando hay cierta cantidad
cada vida para mi debe ser vital.

_{A people of infinite numbers,

is what I feel under responsibility,

even when there is a certain amount

each life for me must be vital.}

power

Cargad con aquel peso,
me lo pidieron sin remediar,
ante una situación de manos suelta,
donde hasta el respirar es desafiar.

_{Carry that weight,

I was asked without remedy,

in the face of a situation of loose hands,

where even to breathe is to defy.}

over

Pero no hay vuelta atrás,
designado como sobreviviente,
es mi persona cuando deseo sea otra,
por una larga lucha de gloria.

_{But there is no turning back,

designated as a survivor,

is my person when I wish to be another,

for a long struggle of glory.}

me.
