Olvido, olvido
Forget, forget
olvido los que se llevaron
I forget the ones they took
los que no volvieron
those who did not return
los que no vendrán
those who will not come
oye muerte vestida de selva
hey death dressed in jungle
respiro tus pasos
I breathe your steps
silencio tu voz
silence your voice
Respiro de agua
Breath of water
respiro de vida
breath of life
Calma en el alma
calm in the soul
despacio muriendo
slowly dying
grito en silencio
I scream silently
y olvido que olvido... también
and I forget that I forget... too
Y lloro y lloro
And I cry and cry
desapareciste mis templos
you disappeared my temples
donde rezaba por tu perdón
where I prayed for your forgiveness
De cara al sol, de cara al cielo
Facing the sun, facing the sky
sabés quien sos
you know who you are
Hijos de la misma tierra
Children of the same land
que se perdieron entre las ideas
that were lost among the ideas
Respiro de agua
Breath of water
Y olvido que olvido... también
And I forget that I forget... too
olvido que olvido también
I forget that I forget too
olvido que olvido
I forget that I forget
