Paroles et traduction Fernando Ubiergo - Golondrinas de Metal

Golondrinas de Metal

Hace mucho tiempo te quería pedir perdón,
Por cercar tu cuerpo, por venderlo a un buen postor,
Por tomar tus frutos sin dar gracias a Dios,
Por las huellas sin razón.

Tu cuerpo era verde, tu cuerpo era azul.
Hoy tu piel está tallada en asfalto gris.
Selvas de cemento, que el cielo quieren tocar,
De más alto caerán.

Madre Tierra, no debes llorar,
Porque la humanidad pronto cambiará.
Madre Tierra, no debes temblar,
Porque la humanidad, calor te dará.

Madre, hoy te vuelan golondrinas de metal,
Aves que no cantan, y que saben pelear.
Hasta la cigüeña ha dejado de volar,
Nadie la quiere esperar.

Madre, hoy el tiempo se ha escapado del reloj,
Y una paloma va volando hacia el Sol,
En sus alas lleva nostalgias, del calor
Que en la tierra no encontró.

Madre Tierra, no debes llorar,
Porque la humanidad pronto cambiará.
Madre Tierra, no debes temblar,
Porque la humanidad, calor te dará.
(Madre Tierra, no debes llorar...)

Swallows of Metal

Long ago I wanted to ask for your forgiveness,
For enclosing your body, for selling it to a good bidder,
For taking your fruits without thanking God,
For the footprints without reason.

Your body was green, your body was blue.
Today your skin is carved in gray asphalt.
Concrete jungles, that want to touch the sky,
Will fall from high.

Mother Earth, you shouldn't cry,
Because humanity will soon change.
Mother Earth, you shouldn't tremble,
Because humanity will give you warmth.

Mother, today metal swallows fly,
Birds that don't sing, and can fight.
Even the stork has stopped flying,
Nobody wants to wait for it.

Mother, today time has escaped the clock,
And a dove is flying towards the sun,
In its wings it carries nostalgia, of the warmth
That it didn't find on earth.

Mother Earth, you shouldn't cry,
Because humanity will soon change.
Mother Earth, you shouldn't tremble,
Because humanity will give you warmth.
(Mother Earth, you shouldn't cry...)
