Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Selva Negra by MANA from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Iba de excursión, perdido en la selva negra
I was hiking, lost in the black forest
Y en eso se me apareció una afligida hormiga
And at that a grieving ant appeared to me.
Ella me contó que alguien le quiere quitar su tierra
She told me that someone wants to take her land.
Y no entiende el porque, si siempre ha estado ahí
And he doesn't understand why, if he's always been there.
Qué pasó? Qué pasó en la selva negra?
What happened?? What happened in the Black Forest?
Qué pasó? Qué pasó en la selva?
What happened?? What happened in the jungle?
Les dieron de madrugada
They were given at dawn
Qué será de mi?
What will become of me?
Qué será de ti?
What will become of you?
Qué pasó en el hormiguero?
What happened in the anthill?
Qué será de mi?
What will become of me?
Qué será de ti?
What will become of you?
Oye dime qué pasó
Hey tell me what happened
En la selva negra.
In the Black Forest.
La hormiga no quiere ver que le destruyan su selva negra
The ant does not want to see its black forest destroyed
Ella siempre defenderá, su hogar donde nació
She will always defend, her home where she was born
Pícale la panza o te va a pisar
Sting his belly or he will step on you
Pica, pícale la panza o te va a moler
Chop, chop your belly or you will grind
Ya no te puedes dejar pisar, ya no te puedes dejar vencer
You can no longer let yourself be stepped on, you can no longer let yourself be defeated
Te quieren pisotear, qué pasó?
They want to trample on you, what happened?
Qué pasó en la selva negra?
What happened in the Black Forest?
Qué pasó? Qué pasó en la selva?
What happened?? What happened in the jungle?
Les dieron de madrugada
They were given at dawn
