Carabelas Lyrics in English Ricardo Arjona
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Carabelas by Ricardo Arjona from Spanish to English.
Carabelas cargadas de malos presagios
Caravels loaded with bad omens
Emisarios de la trampa y la colonización
Envoys of deceit and colonization
Tocan tierra provocando un gran naufragio
They touch land, causing a great shipwreck
Cargados de demonios y una nueva religión
Loaded with demons and a new religion
Pisaron tierra de guanahani
They stepped on Guanahani's land
Bienvenida la desolación
Welcome desolation
Esos sueños de estafa y de saqueo
Those dreams of fraud and plunder
Ese gusto por el oro y esas ansias de poder
That taste for gold and thirst for power
Es el cáncer que aun enferma al heredero
It's the cancer that still afflicts the heir
Es la historia de una tierra condenada a padecer
It's the story of a land condemned to suffer
Pero el negro y el indio y el español
But the black, the Indian, and the Spanish
Se mezclaron para darle un gusto a dios
Mixed together to please God
Pero el negro y el indio y el español
But the black, the Indian, and the Spanish
Se mezclaron para darle un gusto a dios
Mixed together to please God
