| Shakira – Pies Descalzos, Suenos Blancos (English Translation) Lyrics | 18 years ago |

There are a few problems with the translation...No importa un pepino tu destino is not "concerning a cucumber" (lmao!) ... the whole line means "Now you are here, wanting to be happy, your future does not concern you at all." And the ending of the song "saludar al vecino" begins a list of commands to fit into the expectations of modern world. Like this: Greet your neigbor Go to bed at the same time Work every day in order to make it in life Answer only that question And feel only this way And God will always protect us from bad thoughts. Do your homework! Go to school! What would your family think if you were a failure? Always wear shoes! Don't make noise at the table! Wear pantyhose and ties at parties. Women must always marry before they are 30 unless they are nuns, even if they don't want to. And in your quinceañera, it's best not to forget the fine champagne and dance the waltz well. It is a typical teenage rebellion song against the establish order of things! |
