Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics
Drip drip drop, bit by bit, it's the dulcet sound of the glacial meltGoteo goteo, poco a poco, es el dulce sonido del deshielo glaciar
Accompanied by the beluga, singing about the hand they've been dealtAcompañado por la beluga, cantando sobre la mano que les tocó
The emperor and the arctic fox listen intentlyEl emperador y el zorro ártico escuchan atentamente
I'm beginning to get glimpses of what is called real lifeEstoy empezando a vislumbrar lo que llaman vida real
He says, meaning misfortuneÉl dice, significando desgracia
I'm beginning to get glimpses of what is called real lifeEstoy empezando a vislumbrar lo que llaman vida real
Yes, they're lost in myopiaSí, están perdidos en miopía
Surrounded by ostriches with mouths full of sandRodeados de avestruces con la boca llena de arena
Their teeth grind the grains, but their faces don't contortSus dientes muelen los granos, pero sus rostros no se contorsionan
Perplexed, I am unable to breathe in their skinPerplejo, no puedo respirar en su piel
We are all vertebrates but where is their backbone now?Todos somos vertebrados, ¿pero dónde está ahora su columna vertebral?
I'm beginning to get glimpses of what is called real lifeEstoy empezando a vislumbrar lo que llaman vida real
He says, meaning misfortuneÉl dice, significando desgracia
I'm beginning to get glimpses of what is called real lifeEstoy empezando a vislumbrar lo que llaman vida real
He says, meaning misfortuneÉl dice, significando desgracia
As the emperor watches his numbers plummetMientras el emperador ve caer sus números
They hear him screamLo escuchan gritar
They're living in denial of scienceViven en negación de la ciencia
They're happy to defile, silenceEstán felices de profanar, silenciar
I'm beginning to get glimpses of what is called real lifeEstoy empezando a vislumbrar lo que llaman vida real
He says, meaning misfortuneÉl dice, significando desgracia
Deprived is the polar bear, grasping at strawsPrivado está el oso polar, aferrándose a un clavo ardiendo
To safeguard dividends they depend on disbeliefPara proteger los dividendos dependen de la incredulidad
Perplexed I am unable to breathe in their skinPerplejo, no puedo respirar en su piel
We are all vertebrates but where is their backbone now?Todos somos vertebrados, ¿pero dónde está ahora su columna vertebral?
I'm beginning to get glimpses of what is called real lifeEstoy empezando a vislumbrar lo que llaman vida real
He says, meaning misfortuneÉl dice, significando desgracia
I'm beginning to get glimpses of what is called real lifeEstoy empezando a vislumbrar lo que llaman vida real
He says, meaning misfortuneÉl dice, significando desgracia
As the emperor watches his numbers plummetMientras el emperador ve caer sus números
They hear him screamLo escuchan gritar
They're living in denial of scienceViven en negación de la ciencia
They're happy to defile, silenceEstán felices de profanar, silenciar
