COLORS DE REALIDAD
En Las venas de este mundo
Corre petrolio rubio
Flores verdes de papel
Que matan con su olor
No te siegues al dolor
Y los llantos de la humanidad
Dentro de sus corazones
No existe justicia ni amor
Sangre inocente corre
En un mar de lagrimas
No te siegues al dolor
y los llantos de la humanidad
Son los colores de la realidad
Hay un precio para la felicidad
Estos son los colores de la realidad
Hay un precio para la felicidad
English
COLORS OF REALITY
In the veins of this world
There runs white oil
Green flowers made of paper
That kill with their scent
Don''t blind yourself to the pain
And the cries of humanity
Within their hearts
There exists no justice or love
Innocent blood runs
In a sea of tears
Don''t blind yourself to the pain
And the cries of humanity
These are the colors of reality
There is a price to pay for felicity
These are the colors of reality
There is a price to pay for felicity
I cannot write about this album without mentioning the tragic events that took place on September 11, 2001 in the United States. While my deep-felt condolences go out to the families and friends that were affected by this terrible event, there are questions that remain for me. I ask; why is it that we don''t get upset when tragedy exists all over the world everyday? How do we tolerate starvation, war and disease with indifference? As human beings we have to begin to ask why such atrocities happen and how will we make the earth a better place to live? Is war a solution? Must we take out our anger by killing others? Sadly in the US, we claim to live in a democracy, when really we live in the biggest hypocrisy. We want peace, but are the source of devastation - the first to declare war. I enjoy my freedom as an American but I am not willing to cause genocide so that I may have it.
As Americans, rarely do we understand the wounds that our economic freedom inflict upon the rest of the world. This is what Colores De La Realidad is about. In writing this song, I wanted for us not to be confused by a false sense of freedom. True freedom is not the same as economic freedom. We must remember that we are humans filled with compassion, loyalty and love. Our false freedom works to buy our material things and this affects entire nations communities and people that we do not see. We cannot turn our heads to the pain that exist throughout. We have a responsibility to humanity to somehow change what is wrong and not to let the scent of green flowers entice us. Money is not everything!
This album is an offering. It is my hope for us to learn to recognize that we are connected to the problems that exist throughout the world. I believe that in this union, we can begin to change what is unjust.
