Me cortaron las alas
Me sentí débil sin ellas
Escondido entre sabanas
No pude ver las estrellas
No paré de
luchar, no paré de perder
Cogí la
sartén por el mango y me quemé
Huí de mis problemas, pero estos me acorralaron
Hundido entre penas, quise todo abandonarlo
Tiré la toalla pero alguien la recogió
Esta vez voy a por todas dijo, y me la entregó
Quizás el destino me dio otra oportunidad
Ultima quizás, así que tendría que aprovecharla
Iluminado de nuevo mi camino cogí aliento
Y empecé a correr bien rápido en contra del viento
Ríos, valles, montañas, nada me detiene
Orgulloso de estar junto a la gente que me quiere
Algunos vienen y otros van, pero los que están, están
Y los que no me quieran bah, que digan lo que quieran
Van de duros algunos pero lo que les falta es cariño
Niños con ojos de adulto, adultos con ojos de niño
Que tiemble el destino y me ponga un reto nuevo
Que tiemble el destino porque hoy, yo, PUEDO.
They cut my wings,
I felt weak without them,
Hidden between sheets,
I could not see the stars,
I did not stop fighting, I did not stop losing,
I took the frying pan on the handle and burnt myself,
I fled from my problems, but they cornered me,
Sunk between pains, I wanted to leave it all,
I threw the towel but someone gathered it,
“This time Ill go for it” I said, and I did,
Maybe destiny gave another chance,
Maybe the last, so I had to take advantage of it,
Illuminated again my way, I took a breath,
And I started running so fast against the wind,
Rivers, valleys, mountains, nothing can stop me,
Proud to be with the people who love me,
Some of them come and some leave, but the ones who stay,
really stay,
And those who do not want me bah, they can say what they
want,
Some of them think they are so tough but they only need
affection,
Kids with adult eyes, adult with kid eyes,
The destiny shakes and he gives me a new challenge,
The destiny shakes because today, I can do it.
The reason I like this song is because the guy who wrote it has had a lot of problems in his life. The he faces are problems that some people have used as an excuse for suicide, but in this song he tries to explain that it does not matter how bad things can get or how hard destiny can hit you, the only thing that really matters is your ability to rise against all odds and fight for anything you want to do. Life is going to be hard sometimes it can be hard to live but if you have good friends, you can do it all. The only way to have friends is to find people you are yourself with, not those people that you have to be someone else for them to like you, because if you do it, there is going to be a moment when not even you are going to recognize yourself. Then you are alone again, because those who you consider your friends are not there any longer. If you are yourself, you are going to see that those people are going to appear, they are going to like you as you are and you are going to be happy.
And he also wants to say that now kids only want to be older because they think old people can do every thing they want to. The reality is that with older people, the only thing they really want to do is to go back in the time and be kids again, because kids are happy with small things in life and they do not have to be worried all the time, if not that, their only worry is to be a kid.
