Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Belleza by Ana Torroja from Spanish to English.
Enemigo de la guerra y su reverso la medalla
Enemy of war and its reverse the medal
No propuse otra batalla que librar al corazón
I did not propose any other battle than to fight the heart
De ponerse cuerpo a tierra
To put oneself on the ground
Bajo el peso de una historia
Under the weight of a story
Que iba a alzar hasta la gloria
That was going to rise to glory
El poder de la razón
The power of reason
Y ahora que ya no hay trincheras
And now that there are no more trenches
El combate es la escalera
Combat is the ladder
Y el que trepe a lo mas alto
And he who climbs to the highest
Pondrá a salvo su cabeza
He will save your head
Aunque se hunda en el asfalto
Even if he sinks into the asphalt
Míralos como reptiles al acecho de la presa
Look at them like reptiles on the lookout for prey
Negociando en cada mesa maquillajes de ocasión
Negotiating occasion makeup at each table
Siguen todos los raíles que conduzcan a la cumbre
Follow all the rails that lead to the summit
Locos porque nos deslumbre su parásita ambición
Crazy because we are dazzled by their parasitic ambition
Antes iban de profetas
Before they were prophets
Y ahora el éxito es su meta
And now success is your goal
Mercaderes, traficantes
Merchants, traffickers
Más que nausea dan tristeza
More than nausea they give sadness
No rozaron ni un instante
They did not touch for a moment
Y me hablaron de futuros fraternales, solidarios
And they told me about fraternal, supportive futures
Donde todo lo falsario acabaría en el pilón
Where everything fake would end up in the pile
Y ahora que se cae el muro
And now that the wall is falling
Ya no somos tan iguales
We are no longer so equal
Tanto tienes, tanto vales
The much you have, the much you worth
¡Viva la revolución!
Long live the revolution!
Reivindico el espejismo de intentar ser uno mismo
I claim the mirage of trying to be yourself
Ese viaje hacia la nada
That journey towards nothing
Que consiste en la certeza
What does certainty consist of?
De encontrar en tu mirada
To find in your gaze
