Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Conquista by Mägo de Oz from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
El viento se despertó
The wind woke up
Levantando al dios del mar
Raising the god of the sea
Mientras bostezaba el sol
While the sun yawned
El horizonte se desveló
The horizon was revealed
Desnudábanse con aire sensual
They undressed with a sensual air
La costa y el litoral
The coast and the coastline
Dejando caer la niebla a sus pies
Letting the fog fall at your feet
Creí ver el jardín del edén
I thought I saw the garden of eden
Y al pisar tierra firme vi llegar
And when I stepped on solid ground I saw it arrive
A unas gentes que al ver
To some people who, upon seeing
Nuestro ropaje no sabían que hacer
Our clothes didn't know what to do
Hemos venido a cambiar
We have come to change
Vuestros sueños por la fe
Your dreams by faith
Vuestro oro por tener
Your gold to have
A un dios y un rey a quien seguir
To a god and a king to follow
Guerra, muerte, destrucción
War, death, destruction
Nuestro himno ¡qué valor!
Our anthem, what value!
Al soldado y al señor
To the soldier and the lord
La conquista les excito
The conquest excited them
Y aunque nunca quise ser como él
And although I never wanted to be like him
Pediré que nunca más
I will ask that never again
Se conquiste a otro pueblo jamás
Never conquer another town
Quiero pedir perdón
I want to apologize
Y conquistar tu corazón
and conquer your heart
Quiero pedir perdón
I want to apologize
En una batalla, las primeras bajas
In a battle, the first casualties
Son la justicia y el amor
They are justice and love
Y a ti te hablo hoy
And I speak to you today
Cuida y ama tu tradición
Take care and love your tradition
Hoy quiero tu perdón
Today I want your forgiveness
Si tu tierra amas, no dejes por nada
If you love your land, don't leave it for anything
De cuidarla por favor
Please take care of her
