Today I start to write on paper
The things that I have lived in yesterday
And what I keep here in my sincere heart
And so I feel it and I will live it
With the sincerity of the heart
that has taught me to remain whole
I have always learned to look
What is right for me or wrong
And that's how I want to continue life
I know that many more times I will write
And I will leave my soul on paper
And I will try without haste to realize my dreams
I know that many more times I will write
And I will leave my soul on paper
And I will try without haste to realize my dreams

sinceridadsincerity

Sinceridad means 'sincerity' or 'truthfulness'. It's a beautiful and profound word that speaks to authenticity and honesty, which are central themes in this song.

Dread Mar I sings, "Con la sinceridad del corazón" (With the sincerity of the heart), emphasizing the genuine and heartfelt nature of his reflections on life. This word stands out because it encapsulates the emotional depth and introspective quality of the lyrics, inviting listeners to connect with the song's message on a deeper level.

This song feels like opening someone’s private notebook. In “Papel Y Vida,” Dread Mar I sits down to write and literally tells you what he’s doing: “Hoy me pongo a escribir sobre el papel” [“Today I start writing on the paper”]. He wants to put on the page “las cosas que he vivido en el ayer” [“the things I have lived in the past”] and what he keeps “aquí en mi corazón sincero” [“here in my sincere heart”]. The whole song is about using writing to turn his life and feelings into something clear and honest, not dramatic or fake, just what he really is.

There’s also a strong sense of quietly stubborn optimism. He talks about learning to look at “lo que está bien para mí o está mal” [“what is good for me or is bad”] and deciding to continue firmly with his life. When he repeats “Sé que muchas veces más escribiré / y mi alma en el papel la dejaré” [“I know many more times I will write / and I will leave my soul on the paper”], it sounds like a promise to keep growing by writing, and to keep chasing his dreams “sin prisa” [“without hurry”]. It is a calm kind of courage: no rush, no big speech, just a man, his pen, his paper, and the decision to stay true to himself.
