Translation of the song lyrics Presente - Control Machete

Presente (original)

Verso 1:
Distintos niveles, ligan rotundos y fieles
Brotando espacios, solicitan, tienes
Entre el preciso lapso deslizo
Hiciste, hicieron, se hace, hizo
Junta colecta, conjunta acción
Intolerancia en cuestión u opinión en razón
Se ha corrido el cable, hable
Por si dable, pronto considerable…
Presente, después de varios años
Que han pasado, frente a mis ojos han logrado ver
Información obtenida de la imaginación
Entrega recibida
Actuo en legítima defensa (que)
Es mi decisión, quiero vivir costumbres
Esparcirlas, presentarlas
Asi mira, aqui llevarlas
Pasa el tiempo, se dejan rastros
La lleva mi familia en la sangre
Sabes, hasta la fecha
Siempre que acaba un día otro empieza
No hay conformidad
Asi es, es la misma puerta
Asi es, mira suena alerta
Comienza, confiesa, alerta alerta
Correcta, incorrecta, alerta
Coro:
Sera fue, presente (presente)
Alma de alma desciende (x2)
Verso 2:
Materias abundos, sin saber, sin rumbos (presente)
Sin embargo esperas, recompensa turno
Nacer, creer, ver hacia ser (presente)
Sólido derrama, ha de acontecer
Que se conserve y que nunca pierda (presente)
Que se libre que caiga cuerda
En terreno encele, humedece, llueve (presente)
Interminable el color que mueve…
Cargarlo no es fácil, peso suficiente
Por comunicación verbal
No son hallazgos
Veras que llegan sin avisar
Sin costar, ni hablar (hey)
A ver como le haces
La seda no oculta las verdades
No es amenaza, viene en tu misma raza
Aqui esta fue y sera y fue aqui esta
Alma de alma desciende… (x4)
(coro x4)
Alma de alma desciende… (x4)
(coro x1)

Presente (translation)

Verse 1:
Distinctive strata, forging bands unshakeable and true,
Spaces bloom—petitions sent, and you the answer bear,
Between two knife-bright moments I insinuate my step,
You wrought, they wrought, it happens, it was wrought—
A congress gathered, a single will set forth,
Intolerance—knot in the question, or judgment chiseled from reason,
The wire is severed—speak, let your voice flicker like a fuse,
Should fate permit, soon the weight will swell beyond measure…
The present—after the slow erosion of years,
All those seasons paraded by, their images flaring before my eyes,
Intelligence quarried from the vein of the mind’s invention,
A gift delivered—
I act in righteous defense (that)
It is my choice; I yearn to dwell within old customs,
To scatter their seeds, to bring them forth—
So witness, so bear them here,
Time’s current passes, leaving its shadowy marks,
It pulses in my family’s blood,
You know, up to this very day—
Whenever one day is spent, another dawns anew,
No pact of peace—
So it is—there stands the selfsame door,
So it is—listen, an alarm resounds within,
It begins, it confesses, warning upon warning,
True or false, the warning sounds,
Chorus:
It will be, it was, it is (it is)
Soul from soul descends (x2)
Verse 2:
Abundant matters, unknowing, astray (present)
Yet you await, your turn for the reward,
To be born, to believe, to gaze toward becoming (present)
What is solid overflows, for it must come to pass,
Let it endure, and never be lost (present)
Let it break free, let the rope drop,
On fallow earth, soaked and swelling, rain arrives (present)
Endless, the color that compels…
To bear this load is trial, the burden ample,
By word’s tide alone—
These are not found treasures,
You’ll see—they come unsummoned,
No toll, no speech required (hey)
Let’s see how you manage—
Silk cannot shroud the truths,
No threat—this springs from your own line,
Here it is—was, and shall be—was, and here remains,
Soul from soul descends… (x4)
(chorus x4)
Soul from soul descends… (x4)
(chorus x1)
