Bolivia (original)Bolivia (translation)
Europa, 1939 Europe, 1939
Todos decían que no en las cancillerías Everyone said no in the foreign offices
Años de guerra caliente years of hot war
Varios años antes de la guerra fría Several years before the cold war
Todos decían que no They all said no
Cuando dijo que sí Bolivia When he said yes Bolivia
Berlín era un nido de ratas Berlin was a nest of rats
El paladín de la bravata The Paladin of Bravado
Gritaba, llenaba estadios I screamed, I filled stadiums
De un árido erial de desvarío ario From an arid wasteland of Aryan delirium
De un árido erial de desvarío ario (desvarío ario) From a barren wasteland of Aryan raving (Aryan raving)
Las puertas se iban cerrando The doors were closing
El tiempo colgaba de un pelo Time hung by a hair
Y aquel niño en los brazos de mis abuelos And that child in the arms of my grandparents
Y el pánico era evidente And the panic was evident
Y todo lo presagiaba And I foreshadowed everything
El miedo ganaba cauce The fear was gaining ground
Abría fauces, vociferaba He opened his jaws, he shouted
Y entonces llegó del frío And then it came from the cold
En pleno glaciar hiriente In the middle of the wounding glacier
Una insólita vertiente de agua tibia An unusual spring of warm water
Ah ah ah, todos decían que no Ah ah, everyone said no
Cuando dijo que sí Bolivia When he said yes Bolivia
Todos decían que no They all said no
Cuando dijo que sí Bolivia When he said yes Bolivia
Todos decían que no They all said no
Cuando dijo que sí Bolivia When he said yes Bolivia
Todos decían que no They all said no
Cuando dijo que sí Bolivia When he said yes Bolivia
Y el péndulo viene y va And the pendulum comes and goes
Y vuelve a venir e irse And it comes and goes again
Y tras alejarse vuelve And after leaving, he returns
Y tras volver, se distancia And after returning, he distances himself
Y cambia la itinerancia And change the roaming
Y los barcos van y vienen And the ships come and go
Y quienes hoy todo tienen And those who today have everything
Mañana por todo imploran Tomorrow for everything they implore
Y la noria no demora And the Ferris wheel does not delay
En invertir los destinos In investing the destinations
Y en refrescar la memoria And in refreshing the memory
Y los caminos de ida And the ways of going
En caminos de regreso se transforman On return paths they transform
Porque eso, una puerta giratoria Because that, a revolving door
No más que eso, es la historiaNo more than that, it's history
