The Great Mandala

El Gran Mandala

The Great Mandala

Así que le dije que era mejor que cerrara la boca
So I told him that he'd better shut his mouth
Y hacer su trabajo como un hombre
And do his job like a man.
Y él respondió, escucha, padre
And he answered listen, father,
Nunca mataré a otro
I will never kill another.
Cree que está mejor
He thinks he's better
Que su hermano que murió
Than his brother that died
¿Qué demonios cree que está haciendo?
What the hell does he think he's doing
¿A su padre que lo crió, verdad?
To his father who brought him up right?

Coro
Chorus:
Toma tu lugar en el gran mandala
Take your place on the great mandala
A medida que se mueve a través de su breve momento de tiempo
As it moves through your brief moment of time.
Gana o pierde ahora debes elegir ahora
Win or lose now you must choose now
Y si pierdes, solo pierdes tu vida
And if you lose you're only losing your life.

Dile al carcelero que no se moleste
Tell the jailer not to bother
Con su comida de pan y agua hoy
With his meal of bread and water today.
Está ayunando hasta que termine la matanza
He is fasting 'til the killing's over
Es un mártir, cree que es un profeta
He's a martyr, he thinks he's a prophet.
Pero es un cobarde, sólo está jugando un juego
But he's a coward, he's just playing a game
No puede hacerlo, no puede cambiarlo
He can't do it, he can't change it
Ha estado sucediendo durante diez mil años
It's been going on for ten thousand years

(coro)
(chorus)

Dile a la gente que están a salvo ahora
Tell the people they are safe now
El hambre lo detuvo, yace en su celda
Hunger stopped him, he lies still in his cell.
La muerte ha amordazado sus acusaciones
Death has gagged his accusations

Ahora somos libres, podemos matar ahora
We are free now, we can kill now,
Podemos odiar ahora, ahora podemos acabar con el mundo
We can hate now, now we can end the world
No somos culpables, estaba loco
We're not guilty, he was crazy
¡Y ha estado sucediendo durante diez mil años!
And it's been going on for ten thousand years!

Toma tu lugar en el gran mandala
Take your place on the great mandala
A medida que se mueve a través de su breve momento de tiempo
As it moves through your brief moment of time.
Gana o pierde ahora debes elegir ahora
Win or lose now you must choose now
Y si pierdes, sólo has desperdiciado tu vida
And if you lose you've only wasted your life.
