Lyrics and translation Nano Stern - La Raiz

La Raiz

Pareciera que la tierra se nos va a acabar
Que sera cubierta por concreto y alquitran
Pareciera que la vida se nos va a ahogar
Afixiada por paredes que la mataran
Hablan de progreso y hablan de desarrollar
Pero con sus planes no hacen mas que asesinar
Los abuelos de la tierra ya casi se van
Pero en algun tiempo de seguro volveran
Cuando no haya nada mas que un gran cementerio gris
El silencio brotara una pequeña raiz
Poco a poco vencera
Poco a poco avanzara
El cemento no la detendra
La raiz vencera al cemento
La raiz vencera el cemento
La raiz vencera al cemento
La raiz vencera el cemento
Asi como vamos poco iremos a durar
Crecen las ciudades sin dejar avazallar
Algun dia habra que ir a un museo pa mirar
Fotos de los arboles videos sobre el mar
Mientras tanto todos miran tele sin parar
Ya si se les va olvidando que pueden soñar
Los van convenciendo de que no hay lucha por dar
Pero hay todavia una batalla por ganar
Cuando no haya nada mas que un gran cementerio gris
El silencio brotara una pequeña raiz
Poco a poco crecera
Poco a poco avanzara
El cemento no la detendra
La raiz vencera al cemento
La raiz vencera al cemento
La raiz vencera al cemento
La raiz vencera al cemento.

The Root

It seems like the earth is going to end
That it will be covered by concrete and tar
It seems like life is going to drown
Choked by walls that will kill it
They talk about progress and talk about developing
But with their plans they do nothing more than murder
The grandparents of the earth are almost gone
But in some time they will surely return
When there is nothing left but a large gray cemetery
Silence will sprout a small root
Little by little it will overcome
Little by little it will advance
The cement will not stop it
The root will overcome the cement
The root will overcome the cement
The root will overcome the cement
The root will overcome the cement
The way we're going, we won't last long
Cities grow without leaving anything behind
Some day we'll have to go to a museum to look
Photos of trees and videos of the sea
In the meantime, everyone is watching TV without stopping
They are already forgetting that they can dream
They are being convinced that there is no need to fight
But there is still a battle to be won
When there is nothing left but a large gray cemetery
Silence will sprout a small root
Little by little it will grow
Little by little it will advance
The cement will not stop it
The root will overcome the cement
The root will overcome the cement
The root will overcome the cement
The root will overcome the cement.
