Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Paraíso by La Vela Puerca from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Sé que vamos perdiendo
I know that we are losing
Lo único que nos queda
the only thing we have left
Es buscar un camino distinto
It's looking for a different path
Sin cambiar de vereda
without changing lanes
Sé que vamos cediendo
I know that we are giving in
Lo poco que nos queda
the little we have left
No es seguir insistiendo en lo mismo
It is not to continue insisting on the same
Es buscar una idea nueva
It's looking for a new idea
El paraíso es un sitio jodido
paradise is a fucked up place
Hay quienes piensan que puede cambiar
There are those who think that it can change
Muchos lo sueñan viviendo dormidos
Many dream it living asleep
Y algunos se anestesian para no despertar
And some are anesthetized so as not to wake up
Voy viviendo de noche
I'm living at night
No me alcanzan los días
I don't have enough days
Para ser comodín de reproches
To be a joker of reproaches
Y seguir engordando alcancías
And keep fattening piggy banks
Voy muriendo de día
I'm dying by day
Arrastrando la noche
dragging the night
Ya entendí la lección de por vida
I already understood the lesson for life
Aprendiendo de mis derroches
learning from my waste
El despilfarro quedó en el olvido
The waste was forgotten
Con algo bueno para rescatar
With something good to salvage
De todo esto y en todo sentido
Of all this and in every way
Conciencia es lo que queda
Consciousness is what remains
Y crecer con lo que hay
And grow with what there is
Voy a leer
I'm going to read
Estamos de acuerdo
We agree
Que no estamos de acuerdo
that we do not agree
Voy a leer
I'm going to read
Estamos de acuerdo
We agree
Que no estamos de acuerdo
that we do not agree
El paraíso es un sitio jodido
paradise is a fucked up place
Hay quienes piensan que puede cambiar
There are those who think that it can change
Muchos lo sueñan viviendo dormidos
Many dream it living asleep
Y algunos se anestesian para no despertar
And some are anesthetized so as not to wake up
Voy a leer
I'm going to read
Estamos de acuerdo
We agree
Que no estamos de acuerdo
that we do not agree
Voy a leer
I'm going to read
Estamos de acuerdo
We agree
Que no estamos de acuerdo
that we do not agree
