Mama Tierra
Macaco
Lyrics
Translation
Que difícil cantarle a tierra madre
How difficult to sing to Mother Earth
Que nos aguanta y nos vio crecer
Who supports us and saw us grow
Y a los padres de tus padres
And to the parents of your parents
Y a tus hijos los que vendrán después
And to your children who will come after
Si la miras como a tu mama
If you look at her like your mother
Quizas nos cambie la mirada
Perhaps our perspective will change
Y actuemos como el que defiende a los tuyos
And let's act like those who defend their own
Y a los que vienen con el
And those who come with them
La raiz en mis pies yo sentí
The root in my feet I felt
Levante la mano y ví
I raised my hand and saw
Que todo va unido, que todo es un ciclo
That everything is connected, that everything is a cycle
La tierra, el cielo y de nuevo aquí
The earth, the sky, and back here again
Como el agua del mar a las nubes va
Like the sea water goes to the clouds
Llueve el agua y vuelta a empezar, oye
The water rains, and it starts again, listen
Grite
Scream
Grite
Scream
¿O no lo ves?
Can't you see?
Va muriendo lentamente, mama tierra
It's dying slowly, Mother Earth
Mother earth
Mother Earth
No se trata de romper ventanas
It's not about breaking windows
Ni farolas ni de cara
Or streetlights or faces
Mejor romper conciencias equivocadas oye
It's better to break misguided consciences, listen
Nadie nos enseñó ni a ti ni a mi
No one taught you or me
Nadie nos explicó ni a ti ni a mí
No one explained to you or me
Mejor aprender, que corra la voz y quizás conseguir
It's better to learn, let the word spread, and perhaps achieve
Bombeando tierra madre dice
Pumping Mother Earth says
Trtrr bombeando tierra madre te dice
Trtrr pumping Mother Earth tells you
Basta!
Enough!
Trtrt bombeando trtrt bombeando tierra madre escuche
Trtrt pumping, trtrt pumping Mother Earth listens
Trtrt bombeando tierra madre dice ponte en pie
Trtrt pumping Mother Earth says, stand up
Trttr bombeando ponte en pie
Trtrt pumping, stand up
Trtrt bombeando tierra madre dice ponte en pie mirame
Trtrt pumping Mother Earth says, stand up, look at me
Grite
Scream
Grite
Scream
¿O no lo ves?
Can't you see?
(No no no no lo ve)
(No, no, no, you don't see)
Va muriendo lentamente, mama tierra
It's dying slowly, Mother Earth
Mother earth
Mother Earth
Oh mama reclama
Oh, Mom, she claims
Se le apaga la llama
The flame goes out
Y esto no es de hoy
And this is not from today
De tiempos de atrás oihoy
From times past, today
Decre decadas degradando
Decades degrading
Ya mama reclama
Now Mom claims
Se le apaga la llama
The flame goes out
Se la venden hoy
They sell it today
De lo que fue a lo que es hoy
From what it was to what it is today
Se tre magnifican sus latidos uhoy
Its beats are magnified today
Llaman llaman
They call, they call
Mama tierra llaman
Mother Earth calls
Ya que las manejan sin plan
Since they handle them without a plan
Demasiadas cavan
Too many dig
Otras se caen luego frutos no dan
Others fall and then don't bear fruit
Llaman llaman
They call, they call
Mama tierra llaman
Mother Earth calls
Oidos sordos les hace el man
The man makes them deaf
Miradas se tapan
They cover their eyes
Contaminan hasta que eliminan
They pollute until they eliminate
Grite
Scream
Grite
Scream
¿O no lo ves?
Can't you see?
Va muriendo lentamente, mama tierra
It's dying slowly, Mother Earth
Mother earth
Mother Earth
