La Grieta Lyrics in English Diego Torres
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Grieta by Diego Torres from Spanish to English.
Que tan lejos queda el yin del yang
How far is yin from yang
Que ta lejos queda callar de hablar
How far is silence from speech
Quien puso reglas al juego de la verdad
Who set the rules for the game of truth
Quien decidió lo que esta bien sin preguntar
Who decided what's right without asking
Que tan cerca esta vivir de morir
How close is living to dying
Que tan cerca esta parar o seguir
How close is stopping or continuing
Quien es el juez, que nunca sabe como actuar
Who's the judge who never knows how to act
Cuando se encuentra frente a frente la maldad
When evil is met face to face
Déjame, la libertad de elegir, que yo se que entre
Let me have the freedom to choose, 'cause I know that between
El blanco y el negro, también vive el gris
White and black, gray also lives
Déjame, la libertad de decir, que podemos curar
Let me have the freedom to say that we can heal
Esta grieta, sin dejar cicatriz
This rift, without leaving a scar
Que tan lejos queda reír de llorar
How far is laughing from crying
Que tan lejos que da odiar de amar
How far is hating from loving
Si los rencores nunca ayudan avanzar
If grudges never help us move forward
Y nos resulta tan difícil perdonar
And we find it so hard to forgive
Que tan cerca esta principio y final
How close are beginning and end
Que tan cerca esta perder o ganar
How close is losing or winning
Si somos parte de una rueda que al girar
If we're part of a wheel that when it turns
Nos pone arriba y otra vez vuelve a bajar
Puts us up and again comes down
Déjame, la libertad de elegir, que yo se que entre
Let me have the freedom to choose, 'cause I know that between
El blanco y el negro, también vive el gris
White and black, gray also lives
Déjame, la libertad de decir, que podemos curar
Let me have the freedom to say that we can heal
Esta grieta, sin dejar cicatriz
This rift, without leaving a scar

Did you like this lyrics translation?
grieta — crack / rift
Grieta translates to "crack" or "rift". It's a compelling and somewhat unusual word to find as a central theme in a song, making it memorable.
In "La Grieta," Diego Torres uses this word metaphorically to represent the divisions, conflicts, and misunderstandings that exist between people and within society. He sings about wanting to "curar esta grieta, sin dejar cicatriz" (heal this crack, without leaving a scar), emphasizing the desire for reconciliation and lasting peace. This powerful imagery makes the word particularly enticing.
