En cambio constante
in constant change
Todo se mueve y deja de ser
Everything moves and ceases to be
Lo que era antes
what was before
A marchas forzadas
to forced marches
No hay nada viejo bajo este sol
There is nothing old under this sun
Todo dura nada
everything lasts nothing
¿Quién quiere ser eterno
who wants to be eternal
Quién quiere ser eterno testigo?
Who wants to be an eternal witness?
¿Quién quiere estar girando por siempre
Who wants to be spinning forever
Mirando su ombligo?
Looking at his navel?

Cada cual en su propio ajedrez

Su propia jugada

En cambio constante

Nunca hubo antes

No habrá después

Tan sólo durante

¿Quién quiere ser eterno

Quien quiere ser eterno testigo?

¿Quién quiere estar girando por siempre
Who wants to be spinning forever
