Sálvese quien pueda (Four Tet Pretty Remix) - Juana Molina traduction en anglais

Sálvese quien pueda (Four Tet Pretty Remix)

Tengo una idea dando vueltas desde hace tiempo
¿Cómo es posible que el progreso sea tan violento?
Una flor, un árbol, un aroma, los pajaritos
Son valores que se van perdiendo de a poquito
Hachan, tiran, rompen, sacan, ponen y hacen ruido
Indignándonos con sus proyectos sin sentido
Demolieron la manzana de al lado de la plaza
Para hacer un centro comercial tan grande y grasa
Sálvese quien pueda, quien pueda que se salve
Cambian la fachada de la casa, les da vergüenza
No nos enseñaron el valor de nuestra herencia
La vereda, el almacén, el kiosco, los reconozco
Si los quitan yo me siento sapo de otro pozo
Sálvese quien pueda, quien pueda que se salve
Las frutillas, los tomates, ahora no son tan ricos
Porque les pusieron qué sé yo qué gen maldito
¡Ah, las rosas! eran espinosas y perfumadas
Ahora no te pinchan, pero tienen olor a nada
Sálvese quien pueda, quien pueda que se salve
Veo, oigo, huelo, toco, siento, pienso

May the Best Man Win (Four Tet Pretty Remix)

I have had this idea floating around for a long time now
How is it possible that progress is so violent?
A flower, a tree, a scent, the little birds
Are values that are being lost little by little
They cut down, they throw away, they break, they take out, they put in and they make noise
Making us indignant with their senseless projects
They have demolished the block next to the square
To erect a shopping centre so big and vulgar
May the best man win, may he who can be saved be saved
They are changing the facade of the house, they are ashamed of it
They did not teach us the value of our heritage
The pavement, the grocery store, the kiosk, I recognise them
If they take them away I will feel like a fish out of water
May the best man win, may he who can be saved be saved
Strawberries, tomatoes, now they are not so tasty
Because they have put I don't know what cursed gene into them
Oh, the roses! they were thorny and fragrant
Now they don't prick you, but they have no smell
May the best man win, may he who can be saved be saved
I see, I hear, I smell, I touch, I feel, I think
