Babel Lyrics in English Carlos Vives , Fito Páez
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Babel by Carlos Vives from Spanish to English.
Hay un lugar sagrado
There is a sacred place
Que no tiene pasado
that has no past
Y fue relegado a compraventa
And it was relegated to sale
Dónde cada quien va por su cuenta, no
Where everyone goes on their own, no
Es un mundo cansado
It's a tired world
Ya casi desfondado
Almost broken
De pergaminos y apariencia
Of scrolls and appearance
Que nos enredan con su lengua
That entangle us with their tongue
Pero no saben dónde ir
But they don't know where to go
Y te vuelvo a pensar
And I think of you again
Cómo pude cambiar
How could I change
Tu canción por dos tenis usados
Your song for two used sneakers
Solo quiero escribir
I just want to write
Para estar junto a ti
To be with you
Y escapar de este mundo inventado
And escape from this invented world
Babel
Babel
Nadie se quiere entender
Nobody wants to understand each other
Prefieren Roma y arder
They prefer Rome and burn
Nos vuelve a dejar el tren
The train leaves us again
A la salida
At the exit
(Lo siento señores, el tren ya partió
(Sorry gentlemen, the train has already left
Llegaron tarde)
You arrived late)
Raimundo está cansado y no le gusta la gente
Raimundo is tired and he doesn't like people
Pero quiere lanzarse para presidente
But he wants to run for president
El mundo es una jaula de extremistas rabiosos
The world is a cage of rabid extremists
Y el resto pa salvarnos nos ponemos re locos
And the rest of us go crazy to save ourselves
Y te vuelvo a pensar
And I think of you again
Cómo pude cambiar
How could I change
Tu canción por dos tenis usados
Your song for two used sneakers
Solo quiero escribir
I just want to write
Para estar junto a ti
To be with you
Y escapar de este mundo inventado
And escape from this invented world
Babel
Babel
Nadie se quiere entender
Nobody wants to understand each other
Prefieren Roma y arder
They prefer Rome and burn
Nos vuelve a dejar el tren
The train leaves us again
A la salida
At the exit
Babel
Babel
Nadie se quiere entender
Nobody wants to understand each other
Prefieren Roma y arder
They prefer Rome and burn
Nos vuelve a dejar el tren
The train leaves us again
A la salida
At the exit
Babel
Babel
Nadie se quiere entender
Nobody wants to understand each other
Prefieren Roma y arder
They prefer Rome and burn
Nos vuelve a dejar el tren
The train leaves us again
A Barranquilla
To Barranquilla
