Es mejor caminar

They decided to share melancholy
loneliness and ghosts at the same time
crazy fears sadness and joy
and they swore never to deceive themselves again
They decided to ford the wide wall
that separates lies from forgiveness
and wallow in oblivion until erasing
the wounds of a thorn wrapped in flower

It's better to walk than to stop and tremble

Today life smiles at you and God will say
If the future holds a good color for you
giving them another opportunity
from starting on the right foot, there are already two
and a thousand times more they will have to travel
the most uncertain path and forgive
As long as stones don't rain down on them, they'll do better than fine.
I hope the sun doesn't stop shining

It's better to walk than to stop and tremble

And I trust that they do not forget hell
and the reasons that brought them there
and that life does not guide them to the black
spiral from which there is no way out
a tear is bigger than the entire sea
when the wind carries betrayal on its back
because life turns into a winter
spooky for two

Es mejor caminar…
