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

¿O no lo ves?

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

Trtrt pumping Mother Earth says, stand up, look at me

De lo que fue a lo que es hoy

Ya que las manejan sin plan

Demasiadas cavan

Otras se caen luego frutos no dan

Oidos sordos les hace el man

Miradas se tapan

They cover their eyes

Contaminan hasta que eliminan

They pollute until they eliminate
