Below, I translated the lyrics of the song ManUNkin by Metallica from English to Spanish.
Awaiting for Adams return
Esperando el regreso de Adams
Smiling as we watch it burn
Sonriendo mientras lo vemos arder
I've become
me he convertido
Hostage to my mind
Rehén de mi mente
Left myself behind
Me dejé atrás
Blind lead blind
ciego, ciego, ciego
Quest to find
Búsqueda para encontrar
Faith in man kind
Fe en el hombre
Of Eden, so simple and pure
Del Edén, tan simple y puro
Needy, must we have more
Necesitados, ¿debemos tener más?
I've become
me he convertido
Hostage to my mind
Rehén de mi mente
Left myself behind
Me dejé atrás
Blind lead blind
ciego, ciego, ciego
Quest to find
Búsqueda para encontrar
Faith in man kind
Fe en el hombre
Partner of insanity
Compañero de locura
Lessons we never learn
Lecciones que nunca aprendemos
Killing of the innocence
Asesinato de la inocencia
And to dust you return
Y al polvo vuelves
Seized by the day
Aprovechado por el día
Frozen captive by the night
Cautivo congelado por la noche
Seized by the day
Aprovechado por el día
All the dark days of your life
Todos los días oscuros de tu vida
Seized by the day
Aprovechado por el día
Frozen captive by the night
Cautivo congelado por la noche
Led so astray
Llevado tan mal camino
All the dark days of your life
Todos los días oscuros de tu vida
Reset, creation of man
Restablecer, creación del hombre
Ready, to witness again?
¿Listo para testificar de nuevo?
I've become
me he convertido
Hostage to my mind
Rehén de mi mente
Left myself behind
Me dejé atrás
Blind lead blind
ciego, ciego, ciego
Quest to find
Búsqueda para encontrar
Faith in man kind
Fe en el hombre
Faith in man kind
Fe en el hombre
Faith in man kind
Fe en el hombre
Faith in man kind
Fe en el hombre
Faith in man kind
Fe en el hombre
SONG MEANING
"ManUNkin" by Metallica delves into the chaotic and cyclical nature of humanity's quest for meaning and redemption. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world teetering on the edge of madness, as it awaits a return to innocence akin to the biblical Garden of Eden. The song explores themes of greed, insanity, and the repetitive failure to learn from past mistakes, highlighting the internal struggle of becoming a "hostage to the mind." It questions humanity's relentless pursuit of more, despite the destruction it causes, and the futile search for faith in mankind amidst the darkness. Ultimately, the song reflects on the perpetual cycle of creation and destruction, urging listeners to ponder whether humanity is ready to witness its own folly once again.
