Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pintan la cara a la muralla vieja
mientras mi barrio de la foto se aleja.
El eco de un tambor que ya no escuchan,
ahogado por la prisa y la construcción.

[Chorus]
Traen cemento y arena,
pero aquí la sal condena
lo que no tiene el alma llena.

[Verse 2]
El pescador ya no conoce su orilla,
vendiendo historias bajo una sombrilla
de marca extraña, de un color que miente.
Siento la sal en el viento, un lamento.

[Chorus]
Traen cemento y arena,
pero aquí la sal condena
lo que no tiene el alma llena.

[Bridge]
Que la corriente se lleve lo falso,
y nos devuelva este pulso descalzo.
Que el mangle crezca sobre el concreto frío.

[Outro]
Solo queda la sal...
y el cemento.
