Dice la primera plana
Says the front page
Que un politico se fuga
Let a politician run away
Que han llenado sus bolsillos
They've filled their pockets
Con los sueños de la gente
With people's dreams
Esta historia se repite
This story repeats itself
En cualquier pueblo del mundo
In any town in the world
Mucha plata y poca vida
Lots of money and little life
No hay que ser indiferentes
You don't have to be indifferent
No hace faltas tantas penas para recapacitar
It doesn't take so many penalties to think
Abre tus ojos
Open your eyes
Abre tu alma
Open your soul
El mundo se esta acabando
The world is running out
Mientras seguimos callados
While we're still quiet
Abre tus ojos
Open your eyes
La tierra sigue gritando
The earth keeps screaming
Hay que elevar la conciencia!
You have to raise your conscience!
Otra noticia de un hijo
Another word from a child
Que gritaba al escuchar
He was screaming when he heard
Que el amor le hacia falta
That love was lacking
Y lòa vida le golpeaba
And life hit him
Afferado a un crucifijo
Ffered to a crucifix
Se hecho a buscar las estrellas
He went out looking for the stars
De quien ha sido la culpa
Whose fault it was
Nadie quiere responder
No one wants to answer
Abre tus ojos
Open your eyes
Abre tu alma
Open your soul
El mundo se esta acabando
The world is running out
Mientras seguimos callados
While we're still quiet
Abre tus ojos
Open your eyes
La tierra exije clemencia
The land exije clemency
Hay que elevar la conciencia!
You have to raise your conscience!
Otra selva mutilada
Another mutilated jungle
Otro mar en cuarentena
Another sea quarantined
Niños que mueren en guerras provocadas por adultos
Children who die in adult-caused wars
Hay mujeres prisioneras
There are women prisoners
Que se explotan en
They are exploited in
Y un basurero vuelve a ser el sustento de familia
And a dumpster is once again the livelihood of the family
No hace falta tantas penas para recapacitar
It doesn't take that many penalties to think about
Abre tus ojos
Open your eyes
Abre tu alma
Open your soul
Que el mundo se sigue acabando
That the world is still ending
Mientras seguimos callados
While we're still quiet
Abre tus ojos
Open your eyes
Abre tu alma
Open your soul
La tierra sigue gritando
The earth keeps screaming
Hay que elevar la conciencia!
You have to raise your conscience!
Abrele la puerta a la libertad
Open the door to freedom
Hay que elevar la conciencia
You have to raise your conscience
Hay que ver la vida con humanidad
You have to see life with humanity
Tu sabes la verdad
You know the truth
En la era de la sensibilidad
In the age of sensitivity
De la sensibilidad.. despierta! despierta!
Sensitivity.. Wake up! Wake up!
Abre tus ojos
Open your eyes
Abre tu alma
Open your soul
El mundo se esta acabando
The world is running out
Mientras seguimos callados
While we're still quiet
Abre tus ojos
Open your eyes
Abre tu alma
Open your soul
La tierra sigue gritando
The earth keeps screaming
Hay que elevar la conciencia!
You have to raise your conscience!
Vamos aqui.. vamos alla
Let's go here. let's go there
Hay que elevar la conciencia!
You have to raise your conscience!
Vamos aqui.. vamos alla
Let's go here. let's go there
Hay que elevar la conciencia!
You have to raise your conscience!
