France

[Marta Elena Díaz García]

When I see the terrible news about terrorism, I would like to be civilized as animals....
This is a phrase from a song of the brazilian singer, Roberto Carlos and I offer it as a pray to those victims in France.

The Progress
I would like to be able to placate a terrible beast
I would like to be able to transform so many impossible things
I would like to say so many things that they could make me feel good with myself
I would like to be able to embrace my greatest enemy

I would like not to see so many dark clouds above
Navigate without finding so many oil stains on the seas
And disappearing for lack of scruples commercial whaling
I would like to be civilized as animals
La, la, la, la...
I would like to be civilized as animals.

I would like not to see so much green in the Earth dying
And in the waters of the river the fish disappearing
I want to scream that this black gold is nothing more than a black poison
We already know that for all that we live already less

I can not accept certain things that I do not understand
The trade of weapons of war of living deaths
I would like to speak of joy instead of sadness but I am not able
I would like to be civilized as animals
La, la, la, la...
I would like to be civilized as animals
La, la, la, la...
I would like to be civilized as animals

I'm not against progress if there is a good consensus
Errors do not corrected others, that’s what I think
I'm not against progress if there is a good consensus
Errors do not corrected others, that’s what I think

Marta.

TRANSLATION OF THE SONG

El Progreso

Yo quisiera poder aplacar
una fiera terrible.
Yo quisiera poder transformar
tanta cosa imposible.
Yo quisiera decir tantas cosas
que pudieran hacerme sentir bien conmigo.
Yo quisiera poder abrazar mi
mayor enemigo.
Yo quisiera no ver tantas nubes obscuras arriba
navegar sin hayar tantas manchas de aceite en los mares
Y ballenas desapareciendo
por falta de escrupulos
comerciales.
Yo quisiera ser civilizado
como los animales.
La ra ra lalara lara larara parara,
yo quisiera ser civilizado
como los animales.
Yo quisiera no ver tanto verde
en la tierra muriendo.
Y en las aguas de rios los peces desapareciendo.
Yo quisiera gritar que ese tal
oro negro no es mas que un negro veneno.
Ya sabemos que por todo eso
vivimos ya menos.

Yo no puedo aceptar ciertas cosas que ya no comprendo.
El comercio de armas de guerra
de muertes viviendo.
Yo quisiera hablar de alegria
en vez de trizteza
mas no soy capaz.
Yo quisiera ser civilizado
como los animales.
La ra ra lalara lara larara
parara,
yo quisiera ser civilizado
como los animales.
la ra ra lalara lara larara
parara,
Yo quisiera ser civilizado
como los animales.
Yo no estoy contra el progreso
si existiera un buen concenso.
Errores no corrigen otros,
eso es lo que pienso.
Yo no estoy contra el progreso
si existiera un buen concenso.
Errores no corrigen otros,
eso es lo que pienso.
