Se Tu Fores Ver o Mar (rosalinda)
Fausto
If You Go See the Sea (Rosalinda)
Rosalinda
if you go to the beach
if you go see the sea
careful not to slip
your foot on the trash
in dirty oil by the seashore
the white sand from yesterday
is full of tar
the wind-beaten dunes
are made of plastic and coal
and smell bad like avenues
they came here fleeing
the mud, the putrefaction
the birds already fly wounded
and others fall to the ground
But in truth Rosalinda
in the factories you see there
the worker still breathes
poisoned, fainting
what more is there of this aridity
for those who rule the world
only live wanting to profit
even killing the one
who, dying, lives to work
be careful...
Rosalinda
if you go to the beach
if you go see the sea
careful not to slip
your foot on the trash
in dirty oil by the seashore
In Ferrel, towards Peniche
they will build a power plant
which for some is nuclear
but for many is deadly
the fish will come to hand
one sick, the other lifeless
the fisherman has no life
the shad and the salmon die
this is civilization
so spoke a gentleman
be careful
