lyrics

(Lyric Translation)

There is no need to build a wall
The wall already rises, the road already closed
And every distant horizon will disappear from view
If we keep building this wall between me and you.

Our fear of each other creates a barrier
Stronger than iron, wider than the world
That no one can climb, and no one can go around.
If we leave this wall standing between me and you.


When you close your eyes: You build it
When you close your ears: You build it
When you close your heart: You build the wall


Al cerrar tus ojos: Lo levantas
Al cerrar tus oidos: Lo levantas
Al cerrar tu corazón: Levantas el muro



We see the farmer but not the father
We see the maid but not the mother
We see only the problems and never the people
When the wall rises up between me and you.

We hear the stranger and not the good ideas
We hear the accent and not our neighbor
We hear only the differences and not the equality
When the wall rises up between me and you.


When you close your eyes: You build it
When you close your ears: You build it
When you close your heart: You build the wall


Al cerrar tus ojos: Lo levantas
Al cerrar tus oidos: Lo levantas
Al cerrar tu corazón: Levantas el muro
When you close your heart: You build the wall
