Paroles et traduction Alejandro Filio - ¿Qué Pasa, Pedro?

¿Qué Pasa, Pedro?

Se quedó dormido ayer
En el sitio de algún tren,
Le encontraron casi muerto
Y abrazado a su silencio.

Pudo más el mundo que
Sus ideas y su andar
Un puñado de años viejos
Se rompió de pronto entre su pecho.

¿Qué pasa Pedro?
Quién te ha engañado,
Quién te oprimió,
Quién no dejó que fueras algo,
Quién quiso siempre dejarte solo,
Quizá la vida, quizá el destino, quizá nosotros.

En tu pueblo fuiste más
Que un obrero, un charlatán,
Pero un sueño te ha atrapado
Como a tantos Pedros te ha acabado.

What Happened, Pedro?

He fell asleep yesterday
At the site of a train,
They found him almost dead
And clinging to his silence.

The world prevailed over
His ideas and his wandering
A handful of old years
Suddenly broke within his chest.

What's happening, Pedro?
Who has deceived you,
Who has oppressed you,
Who did not let you be something,
Who always wanted to leave you alone,
Perhaps life, perhaps destiny, perhaps us.

In your town you were more than
A worker, a talker,
But a dream has trapped you
As it has finished so many Pedros.
