lyrics
Préstame tus ojos inocentes
Para ver más allá del horizonte
Donde el hombre nace libre y vive libre
Y no se asusta de la muerte
Mas allá de la montaña existe una tierra (x4)
Préstame tu lengua de luz y humildad
Para que tu sabiduría llene mi soledad
Para que tu manto culto se extienda
Por la paz del mundo traéme paz a la tierra
Préstame este mundo que el pánico no cunda
Préstame este mundo y le hago propaganda
Te prometo, lo prodigo toda la promoganda
Del underground de la raza que nunca abandona
Tengo a mi lado esa raza de guerreros
Que se alza orgullosa y no se da por vencida
Ya no pueden callar mas, ellos reclaman mas
Esa voz solo dice, que ya no aguanta mas
Préstame palabras inocentes
Pa’ cantar mas allá del horizonte
Donde el hombre nace libre y vive libre
Y no se asusta de la muerte
Mas allá de la montaña existe una tierra (x4)

Translation:
Lend me your innocent eyes
I want to see the world with a different perspective
My eyes have seen so many misfortunes
They only want to rest for a moment in peace
Let me dream that I am someone else
Let me escape from this world without a face
Let me see how the rain falls in streams
Let us clean up all this mud
Lend me your innocent eyes
To see beyond the horizon
Where man is born free and lives free
And is not afraid of death
Beyond the mountain there is a land
Lend me your language of light and humility
So your wisdom might fill my loneliness
So that your blanket of beliefs can spread
So that the peace of the world brings me peace on Earth
Lend me a world that does not foster stress
Lend me this world and I’ll make propaganda
I promise, I lavish all promoganda on it
From the underground of the people that will never leave it
I have by my side this race of warriors
Which stands proudly and is never defeated
They can no longer be silent
but they demand more
That voice that just says, I can’t take it anymore
Lend me your innocent words
To sing beyond the horizon
Where man is born free and lives free
And is not afraid of death
