Mi ciudad

My city

Mi ciudad

My city was made of glass and cement,Mi ciudad la hicieron de cristal y cemento,
They tear out flowers and plant streetlights,Arrancan flores y plantan faroles,
Widen streets,Ensanchan calles,
Pave valleys.Asfaltan valles.

My city was made of noises and smells.Mi ciudad la hicieron de ruidos y olores.
They are horizons of skyscrapers,Son horizontes de rascacielos,
Clouds of black smoke,Nubes de humo negro,
Colorful ads.Anuncios de colores.

If there could be solutions,Si pudiera haber soluciones,
Breathing without lungs,Respirar sin pulmones,
Growing without playing,Crecer sin jugar,
It wouldn't be bad to live in my city.No estaría mal vivir en mi ciudad.

My city was made with asphalt and no air,Mi ciudad la hicieron con asfalto y sin aire,
With old men sitting on benches in the sun,Con bancos de viejos al sol,
Children playing soccerNiños jugando al fútbol
In the middle of the street.En medio de la calle.

If there could be solutions,Si pudiera haber soluciones,
Breathing without lungs,Respirar sin pulmones,
Growing without playing,Crecer sin jugar,
It wouldn't be bad to live in my city.No estaría mal vivir en mi ciudad.
