Mama Tierra [English translation]
Mama Tierra [English translation]
How difficult it is to sing to Mother Earth
That endures us and saw us grow
And to the parents of your parents and your children, those who will come later
If you look at her like your mom
Maybe we will change the way we look at her
And act like he who defends his people and those who come with him
I felt the root of my feet
I raised my hand and saw
That everything is united, everything is a cycle: the earth, the sky and here again.
As the water of the sea goes to the clouds
It rains the water and returns to the start
Hey, hey
I screamed, I screamed
No, no, you do not see it
It is dying slowly
Mother Earth, Mother Earth
I screamed, I screamed
No, no, you do not see it
It is dying slowly
Mother Earth, Mother Earth
It is not about breaking windows, streetlights, or faces
Better to break wrong consciences
Hey, nobody taught you nor me
Nobody explained it to you nor to me
Better to learn, to spread the word and maybe get
Pumping Mother Earth says,
Pumping Mother Earth tells you enough
Pumping, pumping I listened to Mother Earth
Pumping Mother Earth says get on your feet
Pumping get on your feet
Pumping Mother Earth says get on your feet, look at me!
I screamed, I screamed
No, no, you do not see it
It is dying slowly
Mother Earth, Mother Earth
...
Oh mom claims
The flame will go out
And this is not today, but times that come after today
Decades of degrading
Mom already claims
The flame will go out
They will sell her today
From what it was to what it is today
Your heartbeat speeds up today
They call, they call, Mother Earth, they call
Since they are handled without a plan
Too many dig, others fall, then they give no fruits
They call, they call, Mother Earth, they call
Deaf ears makes them the man
Eyes are covered
They contaminate until they eliminate
I screamed, I screamed
No, no, you do not see it
It is dying slowly
Mother Earth, Mother Earth
I screamed, I screamed
No, no, you do not see it
It is dying slowly
Mother earth, Mother Earth
I screamed, I screamed
It is dying slowly
Mother Earth, Mother Earth
I screamed, I screamed
No, no, you do not see it
It is dying slowly
Mother Earth, Mother Earth
