Текст и перевод песни Amistades Peligrosas - El Progreso

El Progreso

Yo quisiera poder aplacar una fiera terrible
Yo quisiera poder transformar tanta cosa imposible
Yo quisiera decir tantas cosas
Que pudieran hacerme sentir bien conmigo
Yo quisiera poder abrazar mi mayor enemigo

Yo quisiera no ver tantas nubes oscuras arriba
Navegar sin hallar tantas manchas
De aceite en los mares
Y ballenas desapareciendo
Por falta de escrúpulos comerciales
Yo quisiera ser civilizado como los animales

Yo quisiera no ver tanto verde
En la tierra muriendo
Y en las aguas de ríos los peces desapareciendo
Yo quisiera gritar que ese tal oro negro
No es más que un negro veneno
Ya sabemos que por todo eso vivimos ya menos

Yo no puedo aceptar ciertas cosas
Que ya no comprendo
El comercio de armas
De muertes viviendo
Yo quisiera hablar de alegría en vez de tristeza
Mas no soy capaz
Yo quisiera ser civilizado como los animales

Yo quisiera ser civilizado como los animales
Yo quisiera hablar de alegría en vez de tristeza
Mas no soy capaz
Yo quisiera ser civilizado como los animales

Yo no estoy contra el progreso
Si existiera un buen consenso
Errores no corrigen otros eso es lo que pienso
Yo no estoy contra el progreso
Si existiera un buen consenso
Errores no corrigen otros eso es lo que pienso

Progress

I wish I could appease a terrible beast
I wish I could transform so many impossible things
I wish I could say so many things
That could make me feel good about myself
I wish I could embrace my greatest enemy

I wish I didn't see so many dark clouds up above
To sail without finding so many stains
Of oil in the seas
And whales disappearing
Due to a lack of commercial scruples
I wish I was as civilized as animals

I wish I didn't see so much green
On the land dying
And fish disappearing in the waters of rivers
I would like to shout that this so-called black gold
Is nothing more than a black poison
We already know that because of all this we are living less

I can't accept certain things
Which I no longer understand
The arms trade
Living off deaths
I would like to talk about joy instead of sadness
But I'm not capable
I wish I was as civilized as animals

I wish I was as civilized as animals
I would like to talk about joy instead of sadness
But I'm not capable
I wish I was as civilized as animals

I'm not against progress
If there was a good consensus
Mistakes don't correct other mistakes, that's what I think
I'm not against progress
If there was a good consensus
Mistakes don't correct other mistakes, that's what I think
