They started cutting down the entire forestSe pusieron a talar todo el bosque
To plant a new productPara un producto nuevo sembrar
They forgot to plant papachinaSe olvidaron de plantar papachina

There are no fishermenNo hay hombres pescadores
Only fish caughtSolo hombres pescados
Appearing dead in any mangroveQue aparecen muertos por cualquier manglar
With their tongues out and fingers cut offCon la lengua afuera y dedos cortados
Because they said something that should have been keptPorque dijo algo que era de guardar

Chemicals used for processingQuímicos que usan para procesar

And as a consequence of these bad changesY como consecuencia de esos malos cambios
Peace in our paradise has endedEn nuestro paraíso se acabó la paz
