Great-grandfather

Bisabuelo

A hundred years ago my great-grandfather arrivedHace cien años llego mi bisabuelo
To seek a future in this landPara un futuro busacar en este suelo
There is hunger and there is pain,Hay hambre y hay dolor,
his soul is marked by warsu alma esta marcada por la guerra
Europe was left behind,Europa quedó atras,
They arrived in droves to these lands.Llegaban de a montones a estas tierras.

They said you were going to sufferDijeron que ibas a sufrir
- you did well now I'm leaving the country-te fue bien ahora me voy del pais
- and why?, Because everything is wrong-¿y por qué?, Porque esta todo mal
I can't work, And that's why I have to leave.No puedo trabajar, Y por eso me tengo que ir.

Dear great-grandfather if you were alive you wouldn't understandQuerido bisabuelo si vivieras no entenderias
For seeking a better futurePor buscar un futuro mejor
I left your homelandA tu tierra natal yo me fui
To dream, to live, to create a new world.Para soñar, para vivir, para crear un mundo nuevo.

- Great-grandfather!, you came for nothing.-¡Bisabuelo!, viniste al pedo.
