How is it that you leave Salvador
from the company if there is still so much greenery.
If progress is our job
and there are still many Indians out there
who don't know what it's like to live in a city...
Like the people.
Don't you see that you are a bridge
between savagery and modernism.
Salvador the engineer,
Savior of humanity.
It's all well and good what you think
but why don't you,
do you remember
that ours is a very advanced civilization...
As people say.
Don't you see that our minds
should not take into account:
ecologists, indigenous people,
backward thinkers, and humanists.
Oh my civil engineers
and associates,
don't think it doesn't hurt me
to leave your side,
but I think
that the time has come
to make room
for spaces without cement.
That's why I'm leaving.
I don't want to have anything to do
with that ugly cycle of action,
Construction,
Destruction,
Ahha.
How is it that you leave Salvador
from the company if there is still so much greenery.
Oh my Mexican oil company colleagues,
don't think I don't miss the smell of pure oil.
But I think that we humans,
we don't need
more hydrocarbons.
That's why I'm leaving.
I don't want to have anything to do
with that ugly cycle of action,
Construction,
Destruction,
Ahha.
That's why I'm leaving.
I don't want to have anything to do...
That's why I'm leaving.
I don't want to have anything to do...
