Madre Hay Una Sola
Bersuit Vergarabat
There is Only One Mother
Giant cities, huge sewers
Torrents travel to the sea, of a love that smells bad
As if announcing to the sky, our destiny
The marks of death are seen, through the airplane windows
Progress was a failure, it was suicide
The longed-for prosperity was the heaviest burden
Why have a final judgment, if we are already broken
A natural explosion will make a great selection
I thank you because here I am
You are my only mother, with soul and life I worship your garden
I thank you, even as I leave
Ashamed to be part of the species that violates you in a pathetic feast
And yet, you have not rid yourself of us
Our neglect was to have you given away, to believe you are worthless
You are giving birth to blind children, you are tired
Although your salty tears can drown us if you want
The few who love you, have no strength
Like relics they walk, only packages of tourism
There are no more friends of the Sun, no more offerings
Only this mortal attack, in the middle of the heart
I thank you because here I am
You are my only mother, with soul and life I worship your garden
I thank you, even as I leave
Ashamed to be part of the species that violates you in a pathetic feast
