Un Mal Sueño Lyrics in English Jaguares
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Un Mal Sueño by Jaguares from Spanish to English.
Tienes dinero postúlate
You have money, apply
Aquí ni importa le educación
Here, education doesn't matter
Reparte dinero a granel
Hand out money freely
Y estarán lamiéndote los pies
And they'll be licking your feet
Luego róbatelo todo
Then steal it all
Olvídate de la pobreza
Forget about poverty
Total son millones de mexicanos
After all, they're millions of Mexicans
Tus intereses son sagrados
Your interests are sacred
Dime que esto es un mal sueño
Tell me this is a bad dream
Que la nación no esta cautiva
That the nation isn't captive
Dime que esto es un mal sueño
Tell me this is a bad dream
El creer que estamos presos
To believe that we're imprisoned
Ahora que tienes el tesoro
Now that you have the treasure
Que le pertenece a esta tierra
That belongs to this land
Tendrás tus leyes en tus manos
You'll have your laws in your hands
Y protegerás a tus hermanos
And you'll protect your brothers
Dime que esto es un mal sueño
Tell me this is a bad dream
Que la nación no esta cautiva
That the nation isn't captive
Dime que esto es un mal sueño
Tell me this is a bad dream
El creer que estamos presos
To believe that we're imprisoned
Dime que esto es un mal sueño
Tell me this is a bad dream

Did you like this lyrics translation?
cautiva — captive
Cautiva translates to "captive" or "imprisoned". It's a strong and evocative word that immediately brings to mind a sense of confinement or being held against one's will.
In the context of "Un Mal Sueño," the word is used to describe the nation itself: "Que la nación no esta cautiva" (That the nation is not captive). This metaphorical use highlights a powerful political message, suggesting that the country is being held hostage by corruption and injustice. It's a word that carries significant weight and emotional impact within the song's narrative.
