Lúcido Lyrics English Translation by Arcángel
I’ve been daydreaming now for a long, long time
I had to learn so much from my worst moment
From suffering, from crying, but at the very same time
Living with a heart that’s full of gratitude
That’s just how I am, kind and sometimes hateful
I don’t share my plans, I move around so stealthy
My kids have made me feel like such a proud father
Mami just turned another year older, I feel so blessed
I’m surrounded by envy
‘Cause I move like a boss and I’m not Gaviria
My wealth isn’t money, it’s all about my family
Life taught me to watch out for the lukewarm people
I don’t believe in “I love yous” when things are all happy
And I don’t believe in “I hate yous” when things get annoying
That I’ve stumbled a thousand times, I make mistakes, that’s obvious
Only God can judge me, and Mami if I ever burden her
There was a moment when I understood nobody prepares you for loss
But life still tests you anyway
I learned to fall without making a sound
And also to get back up without announcing it
I understood that respect isn’t something you ask for
It’s something you build when nobody’s watching, and you know what?
Today I value peace much more than noise
The truth more than being right
And the process more than the result
Since not everything that shines is complete
Nor is everyone who falls left empty
One day I understood it wasn’t about going farther
But about walking awake, lucid
After that day I promised myself more greatness
I also promised I’d never ever break that promise
With dedication and effort, discipline and skill
I found all the pieces and filled in the puzzle, yes
I know what I have wasn’t luck
And I really had to be strong
One month after my brother left I had to get on stage and I hadn’t gotten over his death
How do you think that could be luck?
If I study this whole round
They split my chest right open and a week later I was back in the studio
How do I make you understand this wasn’t luck?
How do I explain it? How do you want me to tell you?
If I kept moving forward in my most vulnerable moment
Who walks in my shoes? Nobody!
Now I feel lucid, my mind is clear
I notice it even in my voice when the producer hits record
Even though life stabbed a sword right through my heart
I keep on walking through the world like it’s nothing
Head held ***, a fierce soul
The Living Legend making his entrance once again
It’s twenty years in the business and this still isn’t over
Says La *** Maravilla, I am LA 8VA!
