Paroles et traduction Raul Porchetto - Reina Madre

Reina Madre

Sonriendo despidió a su madre
Iba al sur del Atlántico
El reino lo ordenaba
Es que unos salvajes
Osaron molestar
El orden imperial y pagarán

Tanques, aviones, barcos y municiones
Madre, estate tranquila
El mundo así camina
Son del sur de la tierra
¿Qué nos podrán hacer?
Somos distintos, somos mejores

Pero, madre, ¿qué está pasando acá?
Son igual a mí
Y aman este lugar tan lejos de casa
Que ni el nombre me acuerdo
¿Por qué estoy luchando?
¿Por qué estoy matando?

Hoy, la Reina, pasea en los jardines
El sol besa sus rosas
La vida le sonríe
El Parlamento cuida
Que todo siga igual
Que nada perturbe su calma

Luego tendrá una premier de cine
De un director famoso
Que cuenta los flagelos
De la guerra y los hombres
Y se emocionará
Y aplaudirá su buen final

Pero madre, ¿qué está pasando allá?
Eran igual a mí
Y aman ese lugar tan lejos de casa
Que ni el nombre me acuerdo
¿Por qué estuve luchando?
¿Por qué estuve matando?

Mother Queen

His mother waved goodbye with a smile,
He was going to the south of the Atlantic
The kingdom commanded it.
It was that some savages
Had dared to harass
The empire's order and they will pay

Tanks, planes, ships and ammunition,
Mother, don't worry,
It's the way of the world.
They are from the south of the Earth,
What can they do to us?
We are different, we are superior.

But, mother, what's happening here?
They are just like me
And they love this place so far from home
That I don't even remember the name.
Why am I fighting?
Why am I killing?

Today, the Queen, strolls through the gardens,
The sun kisses her roses.
Life smiles upon her,
Parliament ensures
Everything stays the same.
That nothing disturbs her tranquility.

Later she will be attending a movie premiere,
By a famous director.
Whose story tells of the scourges
Of war and of men,
And she will be moved,
And applaud its happy ending.

But mother, what's happening over there?
They were just like me
And they love that place so far from home
That I don't even remember the name.
Why was I fighting?
Why was I killing?
