Wooden Matter

Cuestion de Madera

After a good while of waitingDespues de un buen rato de esperar
What do you want, sir?que desea usted señor
I thoughtque voy a querer pense
A table near the balconyuna mesa cerca del balcón
You can only passsolo se puede pasar
If you're going to eatsi va ud a comer
Poor waiter, in realityPobre camarero en realidad
He sees my reflection in his skinsu reflejo ve mi piel
And I lose valuey pierdo valor

It's the old story of this colonial world:Es la vieja historia de este mundo colonial:
Follow, boss, I'll serve you todaysiga Ud patrón que le sirvo hoy

And so many years go byY asi van tantos años
And so much mediocrityY asi tanta mediocridad
Shaping our lives to the confused modelhaciendo nuestras vidas al modelo confundido
Of a Europe that could never be herede una Europa que aqui nunca pudo ser.

It's a wooden matter Oh OhEs cuestion de madera Oh Oh

The fiber of the heartLa fibra del corazón
The desire in the bones to keep goingde las ganas en los huesos por seguir

The waiter of what the hell I amal camarero de que diablos soy

He'll never understand, he'll never comprehendnunca va a entender nunca va a comprender
That his blood is the colorque su sangre es del color
Of a new dawnde un nuevo amanecer

And so many years go byY asi van tantos años
And so much mediocrityY asi tanta mediocridad

Of a Europe that could never be herede una Europa que aqui nunca pudo ser
