_1 The lyrics
Maybe hope is not as positive as we are led to believe, is what the lyrics suggest. Hope is passive and immobilizing. Perhaps the positive thing is the longing > "anhelo", which implies an active action.

In Spanish hope > "esperanza" and wait >"espera" share the same root.

_ES_
SIN ESPERA

Lazos de esperanza que sin duda hay que soltar.
Esperanza es soga que te impode actuar.

Atado en la espera no hay acción.
Ni voluntad, anulada intención.
Rompo el lazo, no hay regalo aquí.

Pasos sin espera y sin dudas avanzar.
Esperanza solo es la orden para atar.

No me queda espera, si acción.
Mi voluntad cargada de intención.
Rompo el lazo, no hay regalo aquí.
_EN_
NO WAIT

Ties of hope that undoubtedly must be let go.
Hope is a rope that prevents you from acting.

Bound in waiting there is no action.
No will, no intention.
I break the tie, there is no gift here.

Steps without waiting and without doubts move forward.
Hope only is the order to bind.

I have no hope, but action.
My will loaded with intention.
I break the tie, there is no gift here.

_2 The Mix
Mixing and mastering is still difficult for me.
For example, here I thought I achieved an interesting final mix and master. With headphones and speakers it seemed that way. However, when taken to mobile devices it is a total disaster. XD
Everything is learning.

_3 Instruments
They are virtual. On other occasions I record real guitar (and I also use it to simulate a bass), and percussions. But no drum (I don't have one and it's not an instrument I control). Fortunately in Linux we have excellent virtuals drums.

Here has been used its virtuals instruments:
* General MIDI Synth-lv2
* Yoshimi Synth

Thank you for allowing this small collaboration for this exercise.
