Lyrics
English: It all ends in just another memory, in the nostalgia of looking back / The emptiness of letting die the battles I lived for / If you wanted war, we were a Vietnam, a river that feeds the sea / Every morning to be reborn, to sleep and forget / How many lives did I have to live? / And how much karma to be happy? / We consented to loneliness, the promise of one more mystery / Make a kaleidoscope with the sun to see its interior / (There was a song in every heart) / Look at the mirror of your heart on your skin / (And on your lips a melody) / We will forget in order to forgive, the cruel pain upon waking / We survived that Vietnam more than once __________ Spanish: Todo acaba en un recuerdo más, en la nostalgia de mirar atrás / El vacío al dejar morir las batallas por las que viví / Si querías guerra fuimos un Vietnam, un río que alimenta al mar / Cada mañana volver a nacer, dormir y olvidar / ¿Cuántas vidas tenía que vivir? / ¿Y cuánto karma para ser feliz? / Consentimos con la soledad, la promesa de un misterio más / Haz un caleidoscopio con el sol para ver su interior / (Había una canción en cada corazón) / Mira el espejo de tu corazón sobre tu piel / (Y en los labios una melodía) / Olvidaremos para perdonar, el cruel dolor al despertar / Sobrevivimos más de una vez aquel Vietnam
