We have to learn to say goodbye

We have to leave without wanting to leave

We have to accept that they don't love us and also hear it

Like when they tell the end of a book

But in this you are the protagonist and that's why it hurts

Knowing that it rains even in your favorite book

Sometimes I think maybe it was written

That I had to lose you and today speak to infinity, and

I know we have to learn from what happens, and

I know we have to find the positive

But I swear I'm dying in this house

Thinking that we have to suffer to be alive

We have to bet and be brave

Even knowing that sometimes they lie to us

We have to suffer and meet people

We have to lose grandparents when we still don't know what death is

We have to get sick, we have to grow old

We have to learn to lose

We have to see how a friend fails us

And tell him to leave out of pride although it hurts us that he leaves

And continue standing the next day

Try not to build a wall out of pain

We have to pay bills, keep calm, and

Who pays bills with fractures in the soul?

We have to grow up and lose everything we love

Then continue with waterlogged eyes

We have to be prepared, it gives results

Like the one who arrives at the party when it is already over, and

We have to miss trains

We have to throw faith waiting for another who may not arrive

And it's cold on the platforms

When you ask about your dreams and they tell you that they don't happen today because there is snow

It hurts, but it's true

That even in video games, as a child, they score you for correct answers

We have to accept that they compare us with the rest

And on top of that with their fucking 'we will do it', not with ours

We have to shout softly

As if pain were a speaker on your bedside table

They tell you that yours is medicated

And in the end, you are the same, but a brand of pills has become rich

The alarm clock will ring tomorrow, and

Like a zombie, you will wake up unwillingly

You will have to agree with that client and put on a good face

Because someone decided that without money you are nothing

And you will return from a sad party

Because you had to drink everything you endured and didn't say

And the weekend will end again

With a hangover, you will go on Monday to sell your life for two days off

We have to grow up with mom and dad

Knowing that there is a day when they will no longer be, they will be gone

And it is not always overcome

For you, the world stops, and for the world it will be just another day, and

We have to follow patterns

Because there is a canon of beauty that they do not comply with, but they impose

Who are they to tell us what they put in us?

Because of their bullshit parades there are people who don't eat

We have and we fear, I love you and we don't see each other

We have to learn to miss

We have to succeed, but what is success?

If failure is just a step and no one wants to fail

But today the sun has woken me up

And I have felt a caress of heat everywhere

I went out to the window and it was such a clear day

I thought that we have to appreciate what we have

We have the sun, the moon, the sky

The luck of being able to meet grandparents

The forest, the trees, their leaves falling to the ground

A blanket that protects you from the cold in the month of January

We have the cinema and that song

That makes you smile even on your down day

We have the airplane window

Being able to put your feet together with the person you love on the mattress

We have the advice of a friend

And that silly laugh that hits just when laughing is forbidden

We have sex and fire

We have the looks of fooling, of desire

The simplicity of a walk, the vignettes of a comic

Celebrate a goal with a colleague at recess

We have the dreams, the goals

The nerves before a trip while you pack your suitcase

We have the new kitchen, the old recipes

And that desire to eat with everyone, to join the tables

We have the surprises, we have the love

We have the illusion that something is beginning

We have the candor, the beer, the empathy

Fathers, mothers, those who take care of us

We have animals that jump for joy when they get home

We have resilience, company

We have the elderly who tell us little stories

And those children where you can see that innocence withers

We have that friend who, when we are missing, invites

We have that train that goes where you need

We have that sea that splashes our feet

And that horizon that we look at when stress hits

We have that club that we like and where we always meet

We have village festivals in summer

We have winter and a hand that heals us

A call, the breeze, a hot foam bath

Authors who catch you with their pen

A getaway to the mountains that makes you clear your doubts

We have dunes, lakes, cities, tapas bars, theaters, magic, truths

Ancestral places of old cultures

Ripe fruit, kisses and caresses in the dark

Bonfires, islands, stars, nights of drinks and madness

We have the kisses, the hugs

The ties, the 'I love you', the crushes

The birds singing until sunset

The day when after nine months you can see your baby and hold him in your arms

We have the gifts, the certainty

We are excited to receive the one who returns

We have frankness, our most human side

And something good to learn every time we stumble

We have the dance, to be able to take the air

Feeling that we are someone for someone

We have a life ahead of us and hope

That the good weighs more in the balance

We have done it again

The black wolf

resiliencia — resilience

Resiliencia translates directly to "resilience" in English. It's a profound and less common word in everyday song lyrics, making it stand out.

In the context of this song, which explores the many hardships and challenges of life, resiliencia encapsulates the core message of enduring and bouncing back from adversity. It highlights the human capacity to cope with pain, loss, and disappointment, making it a powerful and inspiring choice.

AMBKOR's "Tenemos" is a really honest look at all the tough stuff we have to go through in life, but it also reminds us of all the good things we have. He starts by talking about how hard it is to say goodbye, even when we don't want to, and accepting when people don't want us. He says, "Tenemos que aprender a despedirnos / Tenemos que irnos sin querer irnos" [We have to learn to say goodbye / We have to leave without wanting to leave]. It's like reading the end of a book where you're the main character, and it hurts to know that even in your favorite story, things can go wrong.

But it's not all doom and gloom! After listing all the challenges—like losing loved ones, getting sick, dealing with unfair comparisons, and the daily grind of work—the song takes a beautiful turn. AMBKOR shifts to appreciating everything we do have. He lists so many wonderful things: "Tenemos el sol, la luna, el cielo" [We have the sun, the moon, the sky], the chance to know our grandparents, nature, music that makes us smile, and even simple joys like a warm blanket in winter or sharing a meal with loved ones. It's a powerful message about finding gratitude amidst the struggles, reminding us that even when life throws its worst at us, there's always something beautiful to hold onto.
