Que Pasa? Lyrics

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.
