¿Qué pasa? [English translation]

What happened, I ask

I ask, what happened in the world today

In all the newspapers I read the same horror stories

Lives that fall without reason

Why will there be so much war

Why will there be so much grief

What will there be, what will there be, I ask

What will there be, I ask

I ask, what will there be when there is no love

And instead of embracing each other we create canyons between us

And we forget about love

Why will there be so much war

Why will there be so much grief

What will there be, what will there be, I ask

People are killing, people are dying

And I follow it without understanding

What's happening with the world, it's obscene

What's happening I ask, what's happening I ask

I ask what's happening with the world

It's absurd, it's dismal

What's happening, that nothing good happens to us

And what about peace, there's never any peace

What's happening, that there is only war

It is what's happening that makes me ask
