Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ya!...Sigo pensando que
Ya!...No es lo mismo
Ya!...Toda una historia se ve
Ya!...Destruída

Ya no es lo mismo algo cambió

Cambió a ser una verdad

Una tristeza que exige parar por
Amor que existe hacia solo un color,
Un sentimiento, nuestra nación.

Sigue usando tu fuerza al dar darle
Vida a esta tierra que es más que un
Suelo unido sin diferencias
Un paraíso de un solo color

Sigo siendo tu hermano mírame hoy

Violencia, Codicia,Tristeza,Dolor
Todos somos hijos de un sólo color

Ya no sé si esto cambiará
Ya no sé si es que soy yo
No hay sangre que evite el dolor
Ya no sé si esto cambiará

Ya no sé si es que soy yo
No hay más - no hay fé - sólo - tu voz, tu voz.
