Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Obstáculo by Ana Tijoux from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Tú me dices nunca es tarde mi persona no hace arte
You tell me it's never too late my person doesn't make art
Pero hay gente muy cobarde que solo quiere pisarte
But there are very cowardly people who just want to step on you.
Yo solo quiero aferrarme en lo que creo no quebrarme
I just want to hold on to what I think I don't break
Llegó la hora de contarte, ¡yo!
It's time to tell you, me!
Empecé en la Santa Caro
I started in Santa Caro
El camino del solista no se empieza del todo sola
The path of the soloist does not begin entirely alone
Las rimas, las pololas, las baterías, las pistolas, las canciones, las camaradas
The rhymes, the pololas, the drums, the guns, the songs, the comrades
Desplegadas para inspirarte mas así
Deployed to inspire you more
Mismo nos encontrábamos en la plaza
We were in the square
Con los cassete pintados eso nada lo remplaza
With the cassette painted that nothing replaces it
Esa sensación que estábamos moviendo el planeta
That feeling that we were moving the planet
Que la veta era ponerse por completo la camiseta
That the vein was to put on the shirt completely
Es parte de la historia que llevamos en carpeta
It is part of the history that we carry in folder
La meta la marca el color de nuestra gran paleta
The goal is marked by the color of our great palette
Tú me dices nunca es tarde
You tell me it's never too late
La verdad yo no se si hago arte pero
The truth I do not know if I make art but
Somos los mismos, los del rebaño
We are the same, those of the herd
Nada ha cambiado ni nada es en vano
Nothing has changed and nothing is in vain
No hay obstáculo que te impida continuar de pie
There is no obstacle that prevents you from continuing to stand
Concéntrate, focalízate
Focus, focus
Somos los mismos, los del rebaño
We are the same, those of the herd
Nada ha cambiado ni nada es en vano
Nothing has changed and nothing is in vain
No hay obstáculo que te impida continuar de pie
There is no obstacle that prevents you from continuing to stand
Concéntrate, focalízate
Focus, focus
Tú me dices mi persona es la única que condiciona
You tell me my person is the only one who conditions
Pero si se desmoronan los colegas y las zonas
But if colleagues and areas crumble
Que querían la corona y regarte con acetona
They wanted the crown and water you with acetone
Es la ambición que condiciona
It is the ambition that conditions
Porque dentro de los juegos
Because within the games
Despiertan todos los egos
They awaken all egos
Pegados como los pliegos
Glued together like sheets
Escapando los ojos ciegos
Escaping blind eyes
Te apuntaron con el dedo
They pointed their finger at you
Querían verte con miedo
They wanted to see you with fear
Borrarte todos tus credos
Erase all your creeds
Convertirte en enredo
Becoming a tangle
Pero seguimos de pie con los sueños y las ganas
But we are still standing with dreams and desire
Con la vida cotidiana con la familia humana
With daily life with the human family
Seguimos con savia nueva
We continue with new sap
Las preguntas los dilemas son parte de nuestro emblema
Questions and dilemmas are part of our emblem
Que llevamos en las yemas
What we carry in the yolks
Ojalá logremos en nuestras canciones más poemas
Hopefully we will achieve in our songs more poems
Romper todos los esquemas apuntar todos los temas
Break all schemes point all topics
Tú me dices nunca es tarde
You tell me it's never too late
Yo sigo sin saber si hago arte pero
I still don't know if I make art but
Somos los mismos, los del rebaño
We are the same, those of the herd
Nada ha cambiado ni nada es en vano
Nothing has changed and nothing is in vain
No hay obstáculo que te impida continuar de pie
There is no obstacle that prevents you from continuing to stand
Concéntrate, focalízate
Focus, focus
Somos los mismos, los del rebaño
We are the same, those of the herd
Nada ha cambiado ni nada es en vano
Nothing has changed and nothing is in vain
No hay obstáculo que te impida continuar de pie
There is no obstacle that prevents you from continuing to stand
Concéntrate, focalízate
Focus, focus
