Que Pasa? Lyrics

Que pasó pregunto yo
Pregunto yo que pasó en el mundo hoy
Que en todos los diarios yo leo las mismas noticias de horror
Vidas que callan sin razón

Porque será que hay tanta guerra
Porque será que hay tanta pena
Que será que será pregunto yo
Que será pregunto yo
pregunto yo que será que no hay amor
Y que en vez de abrazarnos los unos a otros nos damos cañón
Y olvidamos el amor

Porque será que hay tanta guerra
Porque será que hay tanta pena
Que será que será pregunto yo
La gente se está matando la gente se está muriendo
Y yo sigo aquí sin comprender
Que pasa con el mundo que está tan inmundo
Que pasa pregunto que pasa pregunto
Pregunto yo que pasa hoy con el mundo

Que está tan absurdo que está taciturno
Que pasa que nada bueno nos pasa
Y que la paz por aquí nunca pasa
Que pasa que solo la guerra pasa
Que es lo que pasa pregunto yo

Cover art for Que Pasa? lyrics by Juanes

'what happened?' I ask I ask 'what happened in the world today' In all the papers, I read the same horrifying news Lives that fall without reason (1)

Why will it be that there is so much war Why will it be that there is so much sadness What will it be, what will it be, I ask What will it be, I ask I ask what it will be since there is no love And that instead of embracing eachother, we make (2) canyons And we foget love

Why will it be that there is so much war Why will it be that there is so much sadness What will it be, what will it be, I ask The people are killing eachother, the people are dying And I here I am, following without understanding What happens with the world is so filthy, What happens, I ask, what happens, I ask I ask, what happens today in the world

It's so absurd that it's sad What happens that nothing good happens to us And that peace never passes here What happens that only war happens What is it that happens, I ask

(1)- 'without reason' can also mean 'without right' or 'injustly' (2)- 'we make' is literally translated as 'we give' [from present 'we' of v. dar]

yeah, spanish. this was one of the many songs we listened to in spanish class this year.

i just reread my translation; a lot of places, it makes more sense to say 'is happening' instead of 'happens.' its not as distinct a difference in spanish. and i realize that the word happen is really redundant. but thats the song, not the translation.

if anyone has corrections, tell me!
