Tierra Lyrics in English Bomba Estéreo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tierra by Bomba Estéreo from Spanish to English.
Nos quitaron el mar, nos quitaron el cielo
They took away the sea, they took away the sky
Vendieron por nada cien hojas de carbono
Sold a hundred sheets of carbon for nothing
Nos quitaron el viento, quemaron la selva
They took away the wind, burned the jungle
Vendieron las tierras, apagaron el sol
Sold the lands, extinguished the sun
Se llevaron el agua, secaron los ríos
They took away the water, dried up the rivers
Dejaron vacíos los montes por carbón
Left the mountains empty for coal
Se untaron las manos y estamos parados
They got their hands dirty and we're standing
En medio del bosque viendo su extinción
In the middle of the forest watching its extinction
Ay sí
Oh yes
Que me llamen ahora
Let them call me now
Ay sí
Oh yes
Qué tengo que decir
What do I have to say?
Se secaron los lagos, tiñeron los heroes
The lakes dried up, they stained the heroes
Apagaron las luces, pidieron perdón
Turned off the lights, asked for forgiveness
Explotaron las minas, llevaron el oro
They exploded the mines, took the gold
Volvieron por más, pero ya se acabó
Came back for more, but it's already over
El pulmón de la tierra, el corazón del mundo
The lung of the earth, the heart of the world
Una pátria dormida que ya despertó
A sleeping homeland that has already awakened
Nos queda la sonrisa, escribir nuestra historia
We still have the smile, to write our story
Puede ser distinta puede ser mejor
It can be different, it can be better
Pero no
But no
Nos quitaron el sueño
They took away our dreams
El vivir en un país mejor
To live in a better country
Vamos a bailar
Let's dance
Pero no
But no
Nos quitaron el tiempo
They took away our time
Pa entender y enmendar el error
To understand and correct the mistake
Ay sí
Oh yes
Que me lleven ahora
Let them take me now
Ay sí
Oh yes
Qué tengo que decir
What do I have to say?
La tierra, no se vende ni se compra
The land, it's not for sale or purchase
Mi tierra es para compartir
My land is for sharing
La tierra despierta y se acerca
The land awakens and approaches
Y me grita al oído
And whispers in my ear
Que no aguanta más
That it can't take it anymore
Cansa' pero muerta de la risa
Tired but laughing to death
Me saca la mano
It extends its hand to me
Y me invita a bailar
And invites me to dance
Vamos a bailar, vamos a bailar
Let's dance, let's dance
Vamos a bailar, vamos a bailar
Let's dance, let's dance
Vamos a bailar, vamos a bailar
Let's dance, let's dance
Vamos a bailar, vamos a bailar
Let's dance, let's dance
Vamos a bailar, vamos a bailar
Let's dance, let's dance
Vamos a bailar, vamos a bailar
Let's dance, let's dance
Vamos a bailar, vamos a bailar
Let's dance, let's dance
Vamos a bailar, vamos a bailar
Let's dance, let's dance
Vamos a bailar, vamos a bailar
Let's dance, let's dance
