Lyrics

Mirando al cielo. Así pasan los días la gente del campo
El ganao y el suelo
Y peces despistados que quedaron rezagados
En charcos de ríos viejos
Que también se están secando, que también se están muriendo
Mirando al cielo, mirando al cielo
Y no llueve; no cae ni gota
Y si llueve caen tres gotas que nunca palían nada
Y, si caen tres gotas más, el desastre da la nota
Y asoman los estragos que paren las riadas
Y no llueve; no cae ni gota. No llueve. Pero no importa
Porque tenemos el sol, otro campo de golf y otra playa rota
Y montañas sin nieves, años sin bienes, cincuenta a la sombra
Y paisajes amarillos donde brota el ladrillo y el hormigón
Y en parajes naturales chimeneas por donde salen
Un montón de enfermedades que degustar
Y en espacios protegidos
El dinero hace sus nidos espantando a las aves
Que ya no van ni a piar
Y lloran los animales que han nacido en estos lares
Porque les aprieta el hambre y tienen que emigrar, porque aquí no queda vida
Y la que queda la extermina el que se sienta pa cagar
Y con árboles se limpia
Mirando al cielo. Así llevan seis meses la gente del campo
El ganao y el suelo. De los peces despistados
Que quedaron rezagados
Sólo quedan un par de ellos y se están asfixiando
Se están muriendo
Mirando al cielo, mirando al cielo
Y mercaremos un iceberg pal hielo de los cubatas
Pa cocinar y pa beber, pa los globos y pistolas de agua
Las flores serán de plástico; sus olores vendrán en latas
De las abejas no habrá ni rastro; sin abejas todo amarga
Las primaveras vendrán sin flores
Los otoños, sin hojas que pisar
Los inviernos traerán sudores
Los veranos nos van a achicharrar
Mirando al cielo
Mirando al cielo

Lyrics translation

Looking at the sky. This is how the people of the countryside spend their days
The ganao and the soil
And lost fish that were left behind
In puddles of old Rivers
That they're also drying out, that they're also dying
Looking at the sky, looking at the sky
And it doesn't rain; it doesn't fall or drop
And if it rains fall three drops that never pale anything
And, if three more drops fall, disaster strikes the mark
And the ravages that stop the floods
And it doesn't rain; it doesn't fall or drop. It's not raining. But it doesn't matter
Because we have the sun, another golf course and another broken Beach
And mountains without snows, years without goods, fifty in the shade
And yellow landscapes where brick and concrete sprout
And in natural places chimneys from where they leave
Lots of diseases to taste
And in protected areas
Money makes its nests scaring birds away
They won't even cry anymore
And weep the animals that were born in these homes
Because they are hungry and have to emigrate, because there is no life here
And the one that's left is exterminated by the one that feels like shit
And with trees it cleans
Looking at the sky. This is how the people of the countryside have been for six months
The ganao and the ground. Of the lost fish
Who were left behind
Only a couple of them left and they're choking
They're dying.
Looking at the sky, looking at the sky
And we'll buy an iceberg pal ice of the cubatas
Pa cooking and pa drinking, pa balloons and water guns
The flowers will be plastic; their smells will come in cans
Of the bees there will be no trace; without bees all bitter
Spring will come without flowers
Autumn, no leaves to tread
Winters will bring sweat
The summers are gonna blow us away.
Looking at the sky
Looking at the sky
