Mama Tierra - Macaco, Natalia Lafourcade

Que dificil cantarle a tierra madre,

que nos aguanta y nos vio crecer,

y a los padres de tus padres

y a tus hijos los que vendrán despues,

si la miras como a tu mama

quizas nos cambie la mirada,

y actuemos como el que defiende a los tuyos

y a los que vienen con el,

la raiz en mis pies yo sentí,

levante la mano y ví,

que todo va unido, que todo es un ciclo,

la tierra, el cielo y de nuevo aqui,

como el agua del mar a las nubes va,

llueve el agua y vuelta a empezar, oye i yee

Grite, grite… o no lo ves?

va muriendo lentamente, mama tierra… mother earth…

(bis)

No se trata de romper ventanas,

ni farolas ni de cara,

mejor romper conciencias.equivocadas.oye.

nadie nos enseñó ni a ti ni a mi,

nadie nos explicó ni a ti ni a mí,

mejor aprender, que corra la voz y quizás conseguir.

(bbrbojer… bombeando tierra madre dice…

tr trr bombeando tierra madre te dice… basta!

trtrt bombeando trtrt bombeando

tierra madre escuche…

trtrt bombeando tierra madre dice… ponte en pie

trttr bombeando… mirame ihee)

Grite, grite… o no lo ve?

(no no no no lo ve…)

va muriendo lentamente, mama tierra… mother earth…

(bis x4)

Oh mama reclama,

se le apaga la llama,

y esto no es de hoy

de tiempos de atras oihoy.

decre decadas degradando

Ya mama reclama,

se le apaga la llama,

se la venden hoy,

de lo que fue a lo que soy,

se tre magnifican sus latidos uhoy.

llaman llaman.

mama tierra llaman.

ya que las manejan sin plan

demasiadas cavan

otras se caen luego frutos no dan

llaman llaman.

mama tierra llaman…

oidos sordos les hace el «man»,

miradas se tapan,

contaminan hasta que eliminan

Grite, grite.

o no lo ves???

va muriendo lentamente, mama tierra… mother earth

(bis x4)

How difficult to sing to mother earth,

that she puts up with us and watched us grow,

and to the parents of your parents

and your children who will come after,

if you look at her like your mom

maybe our look will change,

and let's act like the one who defends yours

and those who come with him,

the root in my feet I felt,

I raised my hand and I saw,

that everything goes together, that everything is a cycle,

the earth, the sky and here again,

like the water from the sea to the clouds goes,

it rains the water and it starts again, hey i yee

Shout, shout… or don't you see it?

is slowly dying, mother earth… mother earth…

(Bis)

It's not about breaking windows,

neither streetlights nor face,

better to break wrong.consciences.hey.

no one taught you or me,

nobody explained neither to you nor to me,

better learn, spread the word and maybe get.

(bbrbojer… pumping mother earth says…

tr trr pumping mother earth tells you… enough!

trtr pumping trtr pumping

mother earth listen...

trtrt pumping mother earth says… stand up

trttr pumping…look at me ihee)

Shout, shout… or do you not see it?

(no no no no see it…)

is slowly dying, mother earth… mother earth…

Oh mom claims,

she extinguishes the flame,

and this is not from today

of times of ago oihoy.

decree decades degrading

Already mom claims,

the flame goes out,

they sell it today,

from what was to what I am,

her heartbeat is magnified uhoy.

they call they call

mama earth they call.

since they handle them without a plan

too many dig

Others fall, then fruits do not bear

they call they call

mama earth they call…

deaf ears makes them the «man»,

glances are covered,

contaminate until they eliminate

Scream, scream.

or do you not see it???

slowly dying, mother earth... mother earth
