Human wants to be master and sir/human wants to be master and lord

Human wants to be master and sir/human wants to be master and lord

Between all the kisses, and all the shooting
Between our hatred, and our love
Between the blood and the art that has soiled our hands
Between torture and hugs

Nature has made us wise and good
But our unbridled ambition was our downfall, our poison
We are able to give life or humiliate in one fell swoop
We are able to love or be a genocide by sport

We have created palaces and pyramids in honor of our leaders
Theories such as those of Euclid and Archimedes
Experiences like serial crime in Rostock

Villains like Hitler, Pinochet and Pol Pot
We are the inventors of writing and penicillin
We are executors of cultures such as Nagasaki and Hiroshima

Human kisses and murders, hugs and always recriminates
If your desires blind you we are able to give away and lie

From the flowers of Versailles to the prisons of Bangkok
You hear voices from wonderful dictators or painters like Van Gogh

Fear or our tenderness, the balance is in our hands
Disappointment or our hope, for the human being.

The kisses that have been given, the walls that have distanced us
The ties that have united us, or the gunfire that rumbled
The blows that have wounded, or the inventions that have dazzled us
The lights and shadows, which make us a human being
The geniuses who have inspired, our embraces that have released
The wars that have ravaged, the blood we shed
The heroes who have shone, the villains who have tortured.

Between all the kisses, and all the shots

Between the blood and the art that has soiled our hands
Between the torture and the hugs

Nature has made us wise and good
But our unbridled ambition was our undoing, our poison
We are able to give our lives or humiliating in one fell swoop
We are able to loving or being a genocide for sport

We have created palaces and pyramids in honor of our leaders
Theories like those of Euclid and Archimedes
Experiences like serial crimes in Rostock

Villains like Hitler, Pinochet and Pol Pot
We are the inventors of writing and penicillin
We are executors of cultures like Nagasaki and Hiroshima were

Human kisses and murders, hugs and recriminates always
If your desires blind you, we are able to betraying and lying

From the flowers of Versailles to the jails of Bangkok
Voices of dictators or wonderful painters like Van Gogh are heard

Fear or our tenderness, the balance is in our hands
Disappointment or our hope, for the human being.

The kisses that have been given, the walls that have distanced us
The ties that have united us, or the shots that rumbled
The blows that have hurt, or the inventions that have dazzled us
The lights and the shadows, that make us a human being
The geniuses that have inspired, our hugs that have released
The wars that have ravaged, the blood that we have shed
The heroes who have shone, the villages who have tortured
