Past

Where the heritage is not piously preserved
Of the past, poor or rich, big or small, no
Let us hope that an original thought or a
Dominant idea, a new town can improvise it
Everything except intellectual culture

An old town cannot give up its
Without extinguishing the noblest part of his life and falling into a
Second childhood very close to senile imbecility, so
People make an effort to erase that past that they
Embarrass them

Where the heritage is not piously preserved
Of the past, poor or rich, big or small, no
Let us hope that an original thought or a
Dominant idea, a new town can improvise it
Everything except intellectual culture

There are people who deny their origins, because for them
It's embarrassing, and they say: I don't belong to that culture, they think
That their culture is to be rich, because the work for it is shame
And only of slaves and they were born to command, because they are rich
But no matter how much they want to erase their past, their history, they will never succeed
Delete it

Where the heritage is not piously preserved
Of the past, poor or rich, big or small, no
Let us hope that an original thought or a
Dominant idea, a new town can improvise it
Everything except intellectual culture

Pasado

Donde el patrimonio no es piadosamente preservado
Del pasado, pobre o rico, grande o pequeño, no
Esperemos que un pensamiento original o una
Idea dominante, una nueva ciudad pueda improvisarlo
Todo excepto la cultura intelectual

Una ciudad antigua no puede renunciar a su
Sin extinguir la parte más noble de su vida y caer en una
Segunda infancia muy cercana a la imbecilidad senil, así que
La gente se esfuerza por borrar ese pasado que les
Avergüenza

Donde el patrimonio no es piadosamente preservado
Del pasado, pobre o rico, grande o pequeño, no
Esperemos que un pensamiento original o una
Idea dominante, una nueva ciudad pueda improvisarlo
Todo excepto la cultura intelectual

Hay personas que niegan sus orígenes, porque para ellos
Es vergonzoso, y dicen: No pertenezco a esa cultura, piensan
Que su cultura es ser ricos, porque trabajar por ello es vergonzoso
Y solo de esclavos y ellos nacieron para mandar, porque son ricos
Pero no importa cuánto quieran borrar su pasado, su historia, nunca lo lograrán
Borrarlo

Donde el patrimonio no es piadosamente preservado
Del pasado, pobre o rico, grande o pequeño, no
Esperemos que un pensamiento original o una
Idea dominante, una nueva ciudad pueda improvisarlo
Todo excepto la cultura intelectual
