Futuro Lyrics in English Café Tacvba

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Futuro by Café Tacvba from Spanish to English.
I said that no
She said yes
I said that yes
She said no
In the end it doesn't matter, it's something that God already decided
Death said yes
I say that no
Life said no
I say that yes
In the end what does it matter, if dead in life I survived?
It's a question of time
So brief this moment
In which you are and in which I am
You tomorrow already left
And before you told me
The future is today
I bring this present
For the ones that you've gone through
It has been heavy
To yearn for the absent
Everything is endured
Even if it's cloudy
Let's keep straight ahead
At a gradual pace
I still haven't tired
Some I go on foot
Others I walk
Truth doesn't matter because I don't know which my destiny is
It's a question of time
So brief this moment
And this is the one that I am
You tomorrow already left
But before you told me
That the future is today
Today, today, today, today
Today, today, today, today
Today, today, today, today
Today, today, today

SONG MEANING

Café Tacvba’s “Futuro” is a lively tug-of-war between opposites: YES vs. NO, Life vs. Death, Past vs. Present. In a playful back-and-forth, the singer argues with fate itself, only to realize that many outcomes are already “decided by God.” Behind the quick tempo and catchy chorus lies a philosophical punch: our time on earth is fleeting, so every second counts.

The repeated mantra “El futuro es hoy” reminds us that tomorrow is never guaranteed. Rather than dwell on mistakes, losses, or cloudy skies, the song urges us to keep moving “a paso paulatino” — one steady step at a time. “Futuro” is at once reflective and uplifting, celebrating resilience, acceptance, and the power of living fully in the now.
