Well, a non-babelfish translation would be:

Things that happen as a setback Are not subject to consensus They stay in the depths While the residue perishes

Wisdom made in the sleeve Serve to the present state It remains distinct While the majority hinders

If the relationship between the setback And the present time Assimilate Space trips wouldn't be necessary [dunno about this line. "cosmáticas" doesn't exist, but it suggests something related to space. and it's definitely not "asmáticas" (which means "asthmatic")] The theories would be attended But intelligence limits human autonomy.

The grammar on these lyrics is very very fractured, and it doesn't seem to make much sense. You can see that on the translation I made. Still, it's a very pretty song and it's constantly stuck in my head. :)
