Lyrics of Mama Tierra - Macaco

Mama Tierra (original)

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)

(translation)

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
