    Pies Descalzos Suenos Blancos

    Song info: Shakira Mebarak - Luis F. Ochoa
    Lyrics: Perteneciste a una raza antigua - de pies descalzos
    y de sueños blancos.
    Fuiste polvo, polvo eres - piensa que el hierro
    siempre al calor es blando.

    Tu mordiste la manzana - y renunciaste al paraíso
    y condenaste a una serpiente - siendo tu el que así lo quiso.
    Por milenios y milenios - permaneciste desnudo
    y te enfrentaste a dinosaurios - bajo un techo y sin escudo.
    Y ahora estas aquí - queriendo ser feliz,
    cuando no te importo - un pepino tu destino.

    Perteneciste a una raza antigua - de pies descalzos
    y de sueños blancos.
    Fuiste polvo, polvo eres - piensa que el hierro
    siempre al calor es blando.

    Construiste un mundo exacto - de acabados tan perfectos
    cada cosa calculada en su espacio y en su tiempo.
    Yo que soy un caos completo - las entradas, las salidas,
    los nombres y las medidas - no me caben en los sesos.

    Y ahora estas aquí - queriendo ser feliz
    cuando no te importo - un pepino tu destino

    Perteneciste a una raza - antigua de pies descalzos
    y de sueños blancos.
    Fuiste polvo, polvo eres - piensa que el hierro
    siempre al calor es blando.

    Saludar al vecino - acostarse a una hora
    trabajar cada día - para vivir en la vida
    contestar solo aquello - y sentir solo esto
    y que Dios nos ampare de malos pensamientos.
    Cumplir con las tareas, - asistir al colegio.
    Que diría la familia - si eres un fracasado?
    Ponte siempre zapatos, no hagas ruido en la mesa
    una medias veladas y corbata en las fiestas.
    Las mujeres se casan - siempre antes de treinta
    si no vestirán santos - aunque así no lo quieran
    y en la fiesta de quince - es mejor no olvidar
    una fina champaña y bailar bien el vals...
    y bailar bien el vals...

    Smile Bare Feet, White Dreams

    You belonged to an old race
    of bare feet and white dreams.
    You came from dust, you are dust
    And you think that
    heat always softens iron.

    You bit the apple
    and renounced paradise
    and condemned a serpent
    just because you were the one that wanted it that way.

    For thousands of years
    You remained naked
    And you faced dinosaurs
    under a roof and without a shield.

    And now you’re here
    wanting to be happy
    when your destiny
    wasn’t even worth a cucumber to you.

    You belonged to an old race
    of bare feet and white dreams.
    You came from dust, you are dust
    And you think that
    heat always softens iron.

    You constructed an exact world
    finished so perfectly.
    Each thing is calculated,
    in its space and at its time.
    And because I am complete chaos
    compared with the entrances, the exits,
    the names and the measures,
    They can’t fit me in their brains

    And now you’re here
    wanting to be happy
    when your destiny
    wasn’t even worth a cucumber to you.

    You belonged to an old race
    of bare feet and white dreams.
    You came from dust, you are dust
    And you think that
    heat always softens--

    You belonged to an old race
    of bare feet and white dreams.
    You came from dust, you are dust
    And you think that
    heat always softens iron.

    Greeting our neighbors, waking up on time,
    working every day to live in the life.
    And answering only this and feeling only that
    and may God protect us from bad thoughts.

    Doing chores, going to school.
    But what would your family say if you are a failure?
    Always put on shoes, don’t make noise at the table
    Put on panty hose and wear a tie at parties

    Women always get married
    before the age of thirty if they will not become nuns
    even if that is not what they want.
    And at the fifteenth birthday celebration
    It’s best not to forget a good champagne
    and dance the waltz well
    and dance the waltz well
    Δε φεύγω αν δε φύγουμε μαζί...

    Default Idioms

    wouldn't "no te importo un pepino" translate to something like "you didn't give a damn" and "bajo un techo" to "undercover"?
