Trópico de cáncer (original)Trópico de cáncer (translation)
¿Cómo es que te vas Salvador How is it that you are leaving Salvador
De la compañía si todavía hay mucho verdor? From the company if there is still a lot of greenery?
Si el progreso es nuestro oficio If progress is our trade
Y aún queda por ahí mucho Indio And there is still a lot of Indian out there
Que no sabe lo que es vivir en una ciudad… (Como la gente) Who doesn't know what it's like to live in a city... (Like people)
Que no ves que eres un puente Can't you see that you are a bridge
Entre el salvajismo y el modernismo Between savagery and modernism
Salvador, el ingeniero Savior, the engineer
Salvador de la humanidad Savior of humanity
Está muy bien lo que tú piensas It is very good what you think
Pero, ¿por qué no But why not
Tú te acuerdas Do you remember
Que la nuestra es una civilización muy avanzada??? That ours is a very advanced civilization???
(Como dice la gente) (as people say)
Que no ves que nuestra mente Can't you see that our mind
No debe tomar en cuenta: You should not take into account:
Ecologistas, indigenistas Ecologists, indigenists
Retrograditas y humanistas Retrogradites and humanists
Hay mis ingenieros there are my engineers
Civiles y asociados Civilians and associates
No crean que no me duele Don't think that it doesn't hurt me
Irme de su lado leave your side
Pero es que yo pienso But it is that I think
Que ha llegado el tiempo that the time has come
De darle lugar to give place
A los espacios sin cemento To spaces without cement
Por eso yo ya me voy That's why I'm leaving
No quiero tener nada que ver I don't want to have anything to do
Con esa fea relación de acción With that ugly relationship action
Construcción, destrucción construction, destruction
¿Cómo es que te vas Salvador How is it that you are leaving Salvador
De la compañía si todavía hay mucho verdor? From the company if there is still a lot of greenery?
Hay mis compañeros petroleros mexicanos There are my fellow Mexican oil tankers
No crean que no extraño el olor a óleo puro Don't think I don't miss the smell of pure oil
Pero es que yo pienso que nosotros los humanos But it is that I think that we humans
No necesitamos We do not need
Más hidrocarburos More hydrocarbons
Por eso yo ya me voy That's why I'm leaving
No quiero tener nada que ver I don't want to have anything to do
Con esa fea relación de acción With that ugly relationship action
Construcción, destrucciónconstruction, destruction
