Lyrics of Son Son - Macaco

Son Son (original)

Qué más da quién lo dijo?
Si fue un profeta o si fue la vendedora del delantal
La voz corre de boca en boca
Pidiendo auxilio, muy silenciosa
Hay quien dice «pa qué quejarse?
«Ya que está dicho, olvídate
Hay quien dice «pa qué acordarse?
«El tiempo pasa, resígnate
Son, voces de la tierra
Son, gritos que no llegan
Son son, voces de este mundo
Son lo que son, son como tú y yo
Al lado tuyo o al otro lado del mundo
Unos ojos se cierran mientras otros se abren
Murmullo grita constante
Aunque unos dicen «no oigo, esto no va conmigo»
Y entre ecos y neblinas
Nos hacemos los locos
«No sé, hay que ver
Vaya mundo éste», decimos
Desde la salita de estar, revolución del mando a distancia
And the first world keep reaching for the next one
Son, voces de la tierra
Son, gritos que no llegan
Son son, voces de este mundo
Son lo que son, son como tú y yo

(translation)

Who cares who said it?
If he was a prophet or if she was the seller of the apron
The word spreads from mouth to mouth
Calling for help, very silent
There are those who say “why complain?
«Since it is said, forget
There are those who say “why remember?
«Time passes, resign yourself
They are, voices of the earth
They are, screams that do not arrive
Son son, voices of this world
They are what they are, they are like you and me
Next to you or on the other side of the world
Some eyes close while others open
Murmur screams constant
Although some say "I don't hear, this doesn't go with me"
And between echoes and mists
we act crazy
"I don't know, we have to see
What a world this is," we say
From the living room, remote control revolution
And the first world keep reaching for the next one
They are, voices of the earth
They are, screams that do not arrive
Son son, voices of this world
They are what they are, they are like you and me
