Life comes and goes

Between good and evil

And in the middle, all alone

I can see you rise

I can see you fall

And let you go in a little while

I'd like to know which side God is on

And which side I'm on

If in the end we're the same

In a second, everything can change

In a second you can crumble

And everything can be so clear and so dark

In a second anything can happen

In a second you can get better

And everything can be so simple and so complex

Luck is a light

That often fails

In the middle of the road

Lord of miracles

Tell me where you are

When I need you most

I'd like to know which side God is on

And which side I'm on

If in the end we're the same

In a second, everything can change

In a second you can crumble

And everything can be so clear and so dark

In a second anything can happen

In a second you can get better

And everything can be so simple and so complex, no

Oh, oh

And everything can be so simple

Oh, oh

And everything can be so Sure

Oh, oh

And you can also get confused

Oh oh oh

Life comes and goes

Between good and evil

And in the middle, all alone

I can see you rise

I can see you fall

Did you like this lyrics translation?

derrumbado — collapsed / crumbled

Derrumbar means to knock down, demolish, or collapse. The past participle derrumbado (collapsed/crumbled) is used here to describe a state of being completely broken or fallen apart.

In the song, Diego Torres sings, "En un segundo te puedes derrumbar" (In a second you can collapse). This powerful verb captures the sudden and dramatic way life can change, emphasizing vulnerability and the unexpected challenges we face. It's a vivid and impactful word that goes beyond simple sadness to convey a complete breakdown.

Diego Torres built "En Un Segundo" around a single admission: he can't tell which side of anything he's actually on. He opens plain — "La vida viene y va" (Life comes and goes), "Entre el bien y el mal" (Between good and evil) — and a verse later says it outright: "Quisiera saber de qué lado está Dios" (I'd like to know which side God is on), "Y de qué lado estoy yo" (And which side I'm on). The chorus never settles that; it just times how fast the ground can move underneath it — "En un segundo, todo cambiar" (In a second, everything can change), "Y todo puede ser tan simple y tan complejo" (And everything can be so simple and so complex).
