Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Peor Sueño by Celtas Cortos from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Se abrocharon la camisa, después se pusieron el traje
They buttoned up their shirts, then they put on their suits
Se calzaron a sus queridas y sus zapatos más brillantes
They put on their darlings and their brightest shoes
Luego cogieron el bolso, (el de piel de cocodrilo)
Then they took the bag, (the one with crocodile skin)
Y lo llenaron con todo. Con todo lo que les pidió su ombligo
And they filled it with everything. With everything that your navel asked for
Ahí metieron toda la pasta. Toda ilusión, toda esperanza
They put all the money there. All illusion, all hope
Toda vergüenza, toda rabia. La poca que aún nos quedaba
All shame, all rage. The little we still had
Lo guardaron con mucho esmero
They kept it very carefully
Para hacer hueco al botín
To make room for loot
No es frecuente ver tanto dinero
It's not often you see so much money
Saliendo junto de un solo país
Leaving together from one country
Hospitales sin camas. Escuelas sin maestros
Hospitals without beds. schools without teachers
Casas abandonadas a la fuerza por sus dueños
Houses forcibly abandoned by their owners
Nos lo quitaron todo. Todo lo que quisieron
They took everything from us. everything they wanted
Nos dejaron desnudos en medio del peor sueño
They left us naked in the middle of the worst dream
Hicieron suyas las leyes. Eran todos buenos tramperos
They made the laws their own. They were all good trappers
Con ellas llegaron a reyes. Chuleando al pueblo entero
With them they became kings. Pimping the whole town
Tiraron todo por tierra. Llenaron todo de polvo
They threw everything on the ground. They filled everything with dust
Hundiendo todo en la mierda
sinking everything in the shit
Tus derechos, mis anhelos, nuestros logros
Your rights, my desires, our achievements
