El Profeta Lyrics in English La Vela Puerca
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Profeta by La Vela Puerca from Spanish to English.
Es una historia sin principio ni fin
It's a story without beginning or end
De ésas que ves por ahí
Of those you see around
Lo único raro fue que no imagino
The only strange thing was that I couldn't imagine
Lo que podía venir
What could come
Se fue de militante en un descontrol
He became an activist in a frenzy
Pensó que ser un héroe era así
He thought that being a hero was like that
Peleó con uñas, dientes y el corazón
He fought with tooth and nail and heart
Pero nunca pudo salir
But he could never get out
Ya no bastaba con dejarse llevar
It wasn't enough anymore to go with the flow
Ahora había que seguir
Now one had to continue
Poner cabeza y aguantar el tirón
To think carefully and tough it out
Que con la vida es así
Because with life, it's like that
Hablaba de lo bueno que puede ser
He spoke of how good it can be
Tener fe y no tener religión
To have faith and not have religion
Dejaba alguna mente sin convencer
He left some minds unconvinced
Sólo pa' sentirse mejor
Just to feel better
Se fue de militante en un descontrol
He became an activist in a frenzy
Pensó que ser un héroe era así
He thought that being a hero was like that
Peleó con uñas, dientes y el corazón
He fought with tooth and nail and heart
Pero nunca pudo salir
But he could never get out
Pero a este tipo le gustaba escuchar
But this guy liked to listen
Y mucha gente le habló
And many people spoke to him
Muchas historias tuvo que compartir
Many stories he had to share
Para explicar su razón
To explain his reason
Hay que tomarse un tiempo pa' comprender
One must take time to understand
Que solamente sos lo que sos
That you're only what you are
De ahí a todo lo que tú quieras ser
From there to all that you want to be
Eso ya depende de vos
That already depends on you
Eso ya depende de vos
That already depends on you
Y eso ya depende de vos
And that already depends on you

Did you like this lyrics translation?
militante — militant
Militante translates to "militant" or "activist." It's an interesting word because it immediately evokes a sense of strong conviction and active participation, often in a political or social cause.
In the song, the lyric "Se fue de militante en un descontrol" (He went off as a militant in a frenzy/out of control) suggests a character who throws themselves passionately, perhaps recklessly, into a cause. This word choice hints at a deeper narrative about idealism, struggle, and the challenges of making a real impact, making it quite engaging.
