Paroles et traduction Milton Nascimento feat. Chico Buarque - Cancion Por La Unidad Latinoamericana

Cancion Por La Unidad Latinoamericana

El nacimiento de un mundo
Se aplazó por un momento
Fue un breve lapso del tiempo
Del universo un segundo

Sin embargo parecia
Que todo se iba a acabar
Con la distancia mortal
Que separó nuestras vidas

Realizavan la labor
De desunir nossas mãos
E fazer com que os irmãos
Se mirassem com temor

Cunado passaron los años
Se acumularam rancores
Se olvidaram os amores
Parecíamos estraños

Que distância tão sofrida
Que mundo tão separado
Jamás se hubiera encontrado
Sin aportar nuevas vidas

E quem garante que a História
É carroça abandonada
Numa beira de estrada
Ou numa estação inglória

A História é um carro alegre
Cheio de um povo contente
Que atropela indiferente
Todo aquele que a negue

É um trem riscando trilhos
Abrindo novos espaços
Acenando muitos braços
Balançando nossos filhos

Lo que brilla con luz propia
Nadie lo puede apagar
Su brillo puede alcanzar
La oscuridad de otras costas

Quem vai impedir que a chama
Saia iluminando o cenário
Saia incendiando o plenário
Saia inventando outra trama

Quem vai evitar que os ventos
Batam portas mal fechadas
Revirem terras mal socadas
E espalhem nossos lamentos

E enfim quem paga o pesar
Do tempo que se gastou
De las vidas que costó
De las que puede costar

Já foi lançada uma estrela
Pra quem souber enxergar
Pra quem quiser alcançar
E andar abraçado nela

Já foi lançada um estrela
Pra quem souber enxergar
Pra quem quiser alcançar
E andar abraçado nela

Song for Latin American Unity

The birth of a world
Was postponed for a moment
A short period of time
In the universe, a second

Nevertheless, it seemed
That everything was going to end
With the mortal distance
That separated our lives

They carried out the task
Of separating our hands
And making us brothers and sisters
Look at each other with fear

When the years passed
Resentments accumulated
Love was forgotten
We seemed like strangers

What a painful distance
What a separated world
They would never have met
Without bringing new lives

And who guarantees that history
Is an abandoned car
By the side of the road
Or in a hopeless station

History is a happy car
Full of happy people
That runs indifferently over
Anyone who denies it

It is a train running on tracks
Opening up new spaces
Waving many arms
Rocking our children

What shines with its own light
No one can put out
Its brightness can reach
The darkness of other shores

Who will stop the flame
From coming out to light up the scene
Coming out to set fire to the plenary
Coming out to invent another plot

Who will prevent the winds
From slamming badly closed doors
From overturning badly tamped soil
And spreading our sorrows

And finally, who pays the sorrow
Of the time that was wasted
Of the lives that it cost
Of the lives that it can cost

A star has already been launched
For those who know how to see
For those who want to reach it
And walk arm in arm with it

A star has already been launched
For those who know how to see
For those who want to reach it
And walk arm in arm with it
