Plástico (English traduction)
Artist: Rubén Blades
Song: Plástic

she was a plastic girl, one of those that I see around
Those who when they're aroused,they sweat Chanel No.3
Who dream about marrying a doctor
because he can support them better
They won't talk to anyone who is not their equal
Unless it's whats-his-name
They are pretty, thin, well-dressed
With an aloof look and a fake laugh

He was a plastic boy, one of those that I see around
With a comb in his hand and a face of "it wasn't me"1
One of those who in the course of a conversation
argue what brand of car is better
Those who prefer not to eat
For the appearances they need to have
to look elegant so they can pick up
a plastic girl

What a loser

They were a plastic couple, those that I see around
He thinks only of money
She in Paris fashions
Pretending to be who they're not
Living in a world of pure illusion
Telling their five-year old son
Don't play with children of a different color
Drowning in debt to keep up
their social status in a wedding or hotel

What a loser

It was a plastic city, those that I don't want to see
With cancerous buildings and a heart of tinsel
Where the dollar rises instead of the sun
Where nobody laughs, where nobody cries
People with faces of polyester
That hear without listening and look without seeing
People selling out for comfort,
their reason for being and their freedom

Hey latino, hey brother, hey friend
Never sell your destiny for gold nor convenience
Never rest, because we still have a long way to go
Let us all go forward so that together we can terminate
With the ignorance that brings us those with influences,
With imported standards that are not the solution.

Don't let yourself be fooled,
Look for the basis and its reason.
Remember, the faces are seen
But never the heart.
Don't let yourself be fooled,
Look for the basis and its reason.
Remember, the faces are seen
But never the heart.
Remember, the faces are seen
And never the heart.

The faces are seen, the faces are seen, yeah, but never the heart
From dust we come and to dust we'll return as the song says
The faces are seen, the faces are seen, yeah, but never the heart
Remember that plastic melts in full sun
The faces are seen, the faces are seen, yeah, but never the heart

Bubirubidubirubi
Bubirubidubirubi

The faces are seen, the faces are seen, yeah, but never the heart
Study, work, and be people first, there is the salvation
The faces are seen, the faces are seen, yeah, but never the heart
But look, look, don't be fooled, look for the basis and its reason
The faces are seen, the faces are seen, yeah, but never the heart
Forward, forward, forward, forward and we'll so we'll continue
being united
And in the end we will win
The faces are seen, the faces are seen, yeah, but never the heart

But ladies and gentlemen
(the faces are seen)
In the midst of plastic is also seen the faces of
hopes
(the faces are seen)
The faces of pride can be seen that work for a
Latin America united
(the faces are seen)
And for a tomorrow of hope and of liberty
(the faces are seen)

Seen are the faces of labor and sweat
(the faces are seen)
Of people of flesh and blood who didn't sell out
(the faces are seen)
Of people working looking for a new path
(the faces are seen)
Proud of their heritage and of being latino
(the faces are seen)
Of a race united like Bolivar had dreamed about
(the faces are seen)

Rubén Blades
ESPAÑOL

Ella era una chica plástica de esas que veo por ahí
De esas que cuando se agitan sudan chanel number three
Que sueñan casarse con un doctor
Pues el puede mantenerlas mejor
No le hablan a nadie si no es su igual
A menos que sea un fulano de tal
Son lindas delgadas de buen vestir
De mirada esquiva y falso reír
El era un muchacho plástico de esos que veo por ahí
Con la peinilla en la mano y cara de yo no fui
De los que por tema en conversación
Discuten que marca de carro es mejor
De los que prefieren el no comer
Por las apariencias que hay que tener
Pa andar elegantes y así poder una chica plástica recoger
Que fallo
Era una pareja plástica de esas que veo por ahí
El pensando sol en dinero
Ella en la boda en parís
Aparentando lo que no son
Viviendo en un mundo de pura ilusión
Diciendo a su hijo de cinco años
No juegues con niños de color extraño
Ahogados en deudas para mantener
Su estatus social en boda o hotel
Que fallo
Era una ciudad de plástico de esas que no quiero ver
De edificios cancerosos y un corazón de oro ver
Donde en ves de un sol amanece un dólar
Donde nadie ríe donde nadie llora
Con gente de rostros de poliester
Que escuchan sin oír y miran sin ver
Gente que vendió por comodidad
Su razón de ser y su libertad
Oye latino oye hermano oye amigo
Nunca vendas tu destino por el oro ni la comodidad
Nunca descanses pues nos falta andar bastante
Vamos todos adelante para juntos terminar
Con la ignorancia que nos trae sugestionados
Con modelos importados que no son la solución
No te dejes confundir
Busca el fondo y su razón
Recuerda se ven las caras
Pero nunca el corazón
No te dejes confundir
Busca el fondo y su razón
Recuerda se ven las caras
Y jamás el corazón
Recuerda se ven las caras
Y jamas el corazón
Se ven las caras, se ven las caras, vay, pero nunca el corazón
Del polvo venimos todos y ahí regresaremos como dice la canción
Se ven las caras, se ven las caras, vay, pero nunca el corazón
Recuerda que el plástico se derrite, si la de de lleno el sol
Se ven las caras, se ven las caras, vay, pero nunca el corazón
Se ven las caras, se ven las caras, vay, pero nunca el corazón
Estudia, trabaja y se gente primero allí está la salvación
Se ven las caras, se ven las caras, vay, pero nunca el corazón
Pero que mira mira no te dejes confundir, busca el fondo y su razón
Se ven las caras, se ven las caras, vay, pero nunca el corazón
Pa' lante, pa' lante, pa' lante, pa' lante, pa' lante
Y asi seguiremos unidos y al final venceremos
Se ven las caras, se ven las caras, vay, pero nunca el corazón
Pero señoras y señores, en medio del plástico
También se ven las caras de esperanza
Se ven las caras que trabajan por una
Latinoamérica unida y por un mañana de esperanza y de libertad
