Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nada Es Verdad by Natalia Lafourcade from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
Se escucha en la madrugada
It is heard in the early morning
Un estruendo de terror
A roar of terror
Gente corriendo en las calles
People running in the streets
Lágrimas de dolor

Debemos cambiar el rumbo
We must change course
El sistema no sirvió
The system did not work
Chorus 1
Nada, nada es verdad
Nothing, nothing is true
Todo es un sueño escrito por la sociedad
Everything is a dream written by society
Nada, nada es verdad
Nothing, nothing is true
Todo es un sueño escrito por la sociedad
Everything is a dream written by society
Ay, por Dios que será de mí
Oh, by God, what will become of me?
A dónde iremos a parar
Where will we end up?
En esta oscura sociedad
In this dark society
Ya paremos la maldad
Let's stop the evil
Ay, por Dios que será de mí
Oh, by God, what will become of me?
A dónde iremos a parar
Where will we end up?
En esta oscura sociedad
In this dark society
Ya paremos la maldad

Una gran felicidad

Con amor a su mamá
