ARMS
Many arm themselves for war.It is necessary.
Others arm themselves for the world.
It is called for.
Some arm themselves for death.
It is natural.
You arm yourself for love
and you are so defenseless
against war,
against the world,
against death.

LAS ARMAS
LAS ARMAS
Muchos se arman para la guerra.Es necesario.
Otros se arman para el mundo.
Es preciso.
Algunos se arman para la muerte.
Es natural.
Tú te armas para el amor
y estás tan indefenso
para la guerra,
para el mundo,
para la muerte.
