Once Upon a Time...

Once upon a time....Érase una vez

In a realm so far away from here....En un reino tan lejos de aquí

There lived a people.....Vivía un pueblo

Who thought that peace was the true valour.....¿Quién pensó que la paz era el verdadero valor

Everyone was equal to the others....Todos eran iguales a los demás

There were neither kings nor queens.....No había ni reyes ni reinas

Everywhere only freedom and wealth....En todas partes sólo la libertad y la riqueza

But nobody was truly happy there....Pero nadie era realmente feliz allí

And how did they finish.....¿Y cómo terminaron...?

Where is their glorious empire.....¿Dónde está su glorioso imperio

The answer is under your sight.....La respuesta está bajo tu vista

Only ashes and ruins....Sólo cenizas y ruinas

They had everything....Tenían todo

Everyone was free to live the way he chose....Todo el mundo era libre de vivir como él eligió

As a matter of fact.....De hecho

They were the masters of their raped earth....Eran los amos de su tierra violada

Everywhere they built up buildings...En todas partes construyeron edificios

With a raw grey material we know no more....Con una materia gris en bruto no sabemos más

And they flew through the skies....Y volaron a través de los cielos

Inside huge metal things like birds....Dentro de enormes cosas metálicas como pájaros

And silence was banished by their realm....Y el silencio fue desterrado por su reino

Nobody raised the head to the stars...Nadie levantó la cabeza a las estrellas

Only matter they worshipped....La única cuestión que adoraban

Forgetting they were only grains of sand...Olvidando que eran sólo granos de arena

And soon they lost their souls....Y pronto perdieron sus almas

Their god was called technology...Su dios fue llamado tecnología

At its altar they sacrified...En su altar se sacrificaron

The few left noble souls....Las pocas almas nobles que quedan

And how did they finish....¿Y cómo terminaron...?

Where is their glorious empire...¿Dónde está su glorioso imperio

The answer is under our sight....La respuesta está bajo nuestra vista

Only ashes and ruins....Sólo cenizas y ruinas

In the time of a micron....En el momento de un micrón

That glorious empire fell down to oblivion....Ese glorioso imperio cayó en el olvido

Annihilated by nature...Aniquilado por la naturaleza

The cosmic justice just spit on their treasures...La justicia cósmica acaba de escupir en sus tesoros

All the buildings they had...Todos los edificios que tenían

Were plunged down to the depths of hell...Fueron hundidas en las profundidades del infernal

As a matter of fact....De hecho

They were no more the masters of their raped earth....Ya no eran los amos de su tierra violada

And finally there was silence...Y finalmente hubo silencio

Stars began to shine in the sky...Las estrellas comenzaron a brillar en el cielo

The altars were swept away...Los altares fueron barridos

And the noble souls were back again...Y las almas nobles regresaron otra vez

They had everything....Tenían todo

Everyone was free to live the way he chose....Todo el mundo era libre de vivir como él eligió

As a matter of fact.....De hecho

They were the masters of their raped earth....Eran los amos de su tierra violada

Everywhere they built up buildings...En todas partes construyeron edificios

With a raw grey material we know no more....Con una materia gris en bruto no sabemos más

And they flew through the skies....Y volaron a través de los cielos

Inside huge metal things like birds....Dentro de enormes cosas metálicas como pájaros

I know it is sad...Sé que es triste

I know it may seem wrong....Sé que puede parecer mal

But we should not forget ever....Pero no debemos olvidar nunca

That we are no the only ones....Que no somos los únicos

And peace is not god...Y la paz no es dios

Nor it is progress....Tampoco es progreso

The whole is everything....Todo lo es todo

And war is part of it....Y la guerra es parte de ella

Only now i understand....Sólo que ahora entiendo

The meaning of this tale....El significado de este cuento

Only now that i see....Sólo que ahora que veo

That something exists beyond the veil...Que algo existe más allá del velo

How stupid they were...Qué estúpidos eran

So imprisoned in their technology....Tan encarcelados en su tecnología

What a wonderful world....Qué mundo tan maravilloso

Arised after they were no more...Después de que ya no estaban
