Dos generaciones menos

Dos generaciones más

Fechas, tan sólo fechas
Dates, just dates
Yo estoy aquí, tú estabas allá
I am here, you were there
El pico y la pala, el hielo en los dedos
Pick and shovel, ice on your fingers
Te estás jugando las manos
you're playing your hands
El mundo se muere y tú sigues vivo
The world is dying and you are still alive
Porque recuerdas tu piano
because you remember your piano
Compás por compás, en el frío del gueto
Beat for beat, in the ghetto cold
Vas repasando el nocturno en Do Sostenido Menor de Chopin, en tu memoria
You go over the nocturne in C Sharp Minor by Chopin, in your memory
Si fueras tu nieto y yo fuera mi abuelo
If you were your grandson and I were my grandfather
Quizás, tú contarías mi historia
Maybe you would tell my story
Yo tengo tus mismas manos
I have your same hands
Yo tengo tu misma historia
I have your same story
Yo pude haber sido el pianista del gueto de Varsovia
I could have been the pianist from the Warsaw ghetto
Dos generaciones menos

Dos generaciones más
two more generations
Fechas, tan sólo flechas
Dates, just arrows
Yo estoy aquí, tú estabas allá
I am here, you were there
Y el mundo no aprende nada, es analfabeto
And the world does not learn anything, it is illiterate
Y hoy suena tu piano, solo que en otros guetos
And today your piano sounds, only in other ghettos
Si yo estoy afuera y tu estabas adentro
If I'm outside and you were inside
Fue sólo cuestión de lugar y de momento
It was just a matter of place and time
Yo tengo tus mismas manos
I have your same hands
Yo tengo tu misma historia
I have your same story
Yo pude haber sido el pianista del gueto de Varsovia
