Oro negro [English translation]

It doesn't see or feel, and it never stops;

it walks in permanent pain.

Death kills and kills. It's never enough. It attacks anyone who crosses its path again and again, no matter the ideology.

It tears everything down. It shoots red, its eye aims in the name of gold, of flags, of frontiers, in the name of the absurd. It's called war. It's called stupidity in the name of peace. What madness, the one we are capable of!

Sons and daughters, children, families, screams, bullets, bombs, damned conflicts. With ire and fury, with so much--

with helplessness, your hands are stained.

How many brothers and sisters will you have to kill?

The earth cries, it will bleed itself to death.

Let life come like a strong wind.

Let life sprout, let it shine in strength, let its light radiate, and all of its essence too.

Ohhhh....

Black gold, white gold, green gold, blood gold.

Black gold, white gold, green gold, blood gold.

Black gold, white gold, green gold, blood gold.

Black gold, white gold, green gold, blood gold.

They don't stop, they shoot. They decide and kill in a suit and tie with laws that destroy and level all. Patriarchs, and chiefs, or presidents, bosses, and lords, or landlords.

In the name of God, or of security, in the name of peace and tranquility. Of crosses, of dogmas, of empires, of crowns, of creeds, of oil, they devour it all.

They are terrorists of the state, criminals on the loose, everywhere.

They drown life from their offices, sending troops to their definite deaths. They are guilty of making the earth bleed. They are guilty of killing communities. Guilty, guilty of the crying of children, of the burial of life.

How many brothers and sisters will you have to kill?

How many nations will you have to occupy/invade?

The crying earth will bleed itself to death,

because you cannot satiate yourself with enough power.

Let life come like a strong wind,

so it can plant flowers they'd like to tear out.

Let life sprout, let it shine with strength, let its light radiate, and all of its essence too.

Ohhhhh ... [x2]

Black gold, white gold, green gold, blood gold.

Black gold, white gold, green gold, blood gold.

Black gold, white gold, green gold, blood gold.

Black gold, white gold, green gold, blood gold.
