San Juanico Lyrics in English El Tri
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song San Juanico by El Tri from Spanish to English.
Fue un 19 de noviembre
It was November 19th
Cuando empezaba a amanecer
When dawn was breaking
Se escucho un fuerte estallido
A loud explosion was heard
Que hizo la tierra estremecer
That made the earth tremble
Una explosión de gas
A gas explosion
Hizo sembrar
Made it sow
El norte de la ciudad
The north of the city
Miles de niños y familias
Thousands of children and families
Se quedaron sin hogar
Were left homeless
Unos apenas
Some were barely
Se iban yendo
Leaving
A trabajar
For work
Otros todavía
Others were still
Estaban durmiendo
Sleeping
Y no sintieron nada
And felt nothing
Y si de verla y te pesa
And if seeing it weighs on you
Dejaron de existir
They ceased to exist
Cuando una fuerte explosión de gas
When a strong gas explosion
Hizo sembrar el norte de la ciudad
Made it sow the north of the city
Ahora quieren convertir en parque
Now they want to turn into a park
Ese lugar
That place
Ya que esta ahogado el niño
Since the child is suffocated
Ahora el poso
Now the well
Quieren tapar
They want to cover
Mejor que indemnicen
Better to compensate
A los que se quedaron sin hogar
Those who were left homeless
Cuando una fuerte explosión de gas
When a strong gas explosion
Hizo sembrar el norte de la ciudad
Made it sow the north of the city
