Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Pajaro Canta Hasta Morir by Attaque 77 from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Desde un rincón del olvido, solo en su jaula…
From a corner of oblivion, alone in his cage...
Desde el infierno mismo donde no debía estar…
From hell itself where it shouldn't be...
Que será lo que te impide oír, tan claro como el agua
What will be what prevents you from hearing, as clear as water
Que el pájaro canta hasta morir, su melodía sin fin
That the bird sings to death, its endless melody
Como esas cosas lujosas que hay en tu casa…
Like those luxurious things in your house...
Que nunca pueden llenar tu vacío existencial…
That they can never fill your existential emptiness...
Que ironía del destino es haber nacido con alas
What an irony of fate it is to have been born with wings
Y mirar al cielo desde ahí…una tortura cruel…
And look at the sky from there... a cruel torture...
Hay una espina clavada profundo en mi ser
There is a thorn in my being
En mi costado izquierdo ahí…a donde late mi fe…
On my left side there... where my faith beats...
Solo duele cuando río, como indicándome que nunca seremos libres
It only hurts when I laugh, like telling me we'll never be free.
Mientras que no lo sea él, que nos hace creernos tan importantes
As long as he is not, he makes us believe ourselves so important
Como si el ser humano fuese lo único esencial
As if the human being were the only essential thing
Un capricho egoísta y ya justificamos la causa
A selfish whim and we already justify the cause
La desgracia de un pobre animal, tu pobre felicidad…
The misfortune of a poor animal, your poor happiness..
