Paroles et traduction Ignacio Copani - Te Pusiste a Pensar

Te Pusiste a Pensar

Te pusiste a pensar dónde se bajará
Esa gente que viaja apretada justo cuando pasas
Con tu coche vacío por la terminal
Te pusiste a pensar cuánto le costará
Cuantas veces la cabeza gacha para poder comprar
No solamente vino como alguien dirá
Te pusiste a pensar en el frío
Sin alfombra, sin gas, sin abrigo
Te pusiste a pensar que hablo de este lugar
Donde no hay guerra ni hubo un sismo.
Te pusiste a pensar que esto pasa ahora mismo
Te pusiste a pensar cuánto puede aguantar
El que tiene que decirle al hijo hoy no te traje pan
Ni nada parecido para masticar
Te pusiste a pensar quién lo va a condenar
Por dejar el mostrador vacío y salir sin pagar.
Crees que es divertido... toma su lugar
Te pusiste a pensar en el frío
Con el techo de chapas, sin vidrios
Te pusiste a pensar que hablo de este lugar
No del Congo, no de otro siglo.
Te pusiste a pensar que esto pasa ahora mismo.
Y que debe cambiar

Did You Ever Think?

Did you ever think where they might get off,
Those people crammed in, as you drive past?
Your car empty, passing the terminal.
Did you ever think what it might cost them,
How many times they had to bow their heads to buy,
Not just wine, as some might say.
Did you ever think of the cold,
Without carpets, without gas, without a coat.
Did you ever think that I speak of this place,
Where there's no war, nor was there an earthquake.
Did you ever think this is happening right now,
Did you ever think how much one can endure,
The one who has to tell their child, "I didn't bring bread today,"
Nor anything similar to chew.
Did you ever think who will condemn them,
For leaving the counter empty and walking out without paying.
You think it's funny... take their place.
Did you ever think of the cold,
With a roof of sheet metal, without glass.
Did you ever think that I speak of this place,
Not of the Congo, not of another century.
Did you ever think this is happening right now.
And that it must change.
