Me llaman el desaparecidoQue cuando llega ya se ha idoVolando vengo, volando voyDeprisa, deprisa a rumbo perdidoCuando me buscan nunca estoyCuando me encuentran yo no soyEl que está enfrente porque yaMe fui corriendo más allá Me dicen el desaparecidoFantasma que nunca estáMe dicen el desagradecidoPero esa no es la verdadYo llevo en el cuerpo un dolorQue no me deja respirarLlevo en el cuerpo una condenaQue siempre me echa a caminar They call me the disappearedThat who when he arrives he is already goneFlying I come, flying I goHastily, hastily to a lost courseWhen they search for me I am never thereWhen they find me he is not actually meThe one they have in frontBecause I already moved along They call me the disappearedGhost that never is to be foundThey call me the ungratefulBut this is not the truthI carry in my body a painThat don't let me breatheI carry in my body a curseThat always brings me to walk on Desaparecido. Mentira la que mandaMentira comanda Lie rulesLie commands Mentira. Todo es mentira en este mundoTodo es mentira la verdadTodo es mentira yo me digoTodo es mentira ¿Por qué será? Everything is a lie in this worldReally everything is a lieEverything is a lie, I tell my selfEverything is a lie, why is it? Mentira.
