Reina Madre

Mother Queen

Reina Madre

Smiling, she said goodbye to her motherSonriendo despidió a su madre
She was heading to the south of the AtlanticIba al sur del atlántico
The kingdom commanded itEl reino lo ordenaba
Because some savagesEs que unos salvajes
Dared to disturbOsaron molestar
The imperial order and they will payEl orden imperial y pagaran

Tanks, planesTanques, aviones
Ships and ammunitionBarcos y municiones
Mother, stay calmMadre estate tranquila
That's how the world goesEl mundo así camina
They are from the south of the earthSon del sur de la tierra
What can they do to us?¿Qué nos podrán hacer?

We are differentSomos distintos
We are betterSomos mejores
But motherPero madre
What's happening here?¿Qué esta pasando acá
They are just like me and love this place?Son igual a mí y aman este lugar?

So far from homeTan lejos de casa
That I can't even remember the nameQue ni el nombre me acuerdo
Because I'm fightingPorque estoy luchando
Because I'm killingPorque estoy matando
Today the queen strolls in the gardensHoy la reina pasea en los jardines
The sun kisses her rosesEl Sol besa sus rosas
Life smiles at herLa vida le sonríe

The Parliament ensures that everything stays the sameEl Parlamento cuida que todo siga igual
That nothing disturbs its calmQue nada perturba su calma
Then she will have a movie-like PremierLuego tendrá una Premier de cine
From a famous directorDe un director famoso
Who tells the horrorsQue cuenta los flagelos
Of war and menDe la guerra y los hombres

And she gets emotional (and laughs) and applauds its good endingY se emociona (y reira) y aplaudira su buen final
But motherPero madre
What's happening there?¿Qué está pasando allá?
They were just like me and loved that placeEran igual a mí y aman ese lugar
So far from home that I can't even remember the nameTan lejos de casa que ni el nombre me acuerdo
Because I was fightingPorque estuve luchando
Because I was killingPorque estuve matando
