Translation Nation #2: Nadie Como Tú
Cada idioma necesita un gran canción de todos los verdades. En íngles, tenemos eso clásico del YouTube, “We Didn’t Start The Fire.” Me parece que Calle 13 trataba crear uno para español con “Nadie Como Tú.” Calle es más de un poco cursí pero es por que se amamos. Aquí, la letra original y mi traducción.
Primero, un actuación “MUY hermoso XDDDD” (no puedo poner el video profesional porque los tontos en Sony/BMG bloquearon embedding - aún yo lo copié y recargué debajo de mi nombre!):
En el mundo hay gente bruta y astuta,
hay vírgenes y prostitutas,
ricos pobres clase media,
cosas bonitas y un par de tragedias,Hay personas gordas medianas y flacas,
caballos, gallinas, ovejas y vacas,
hay muchos animales con mucha gente,
personas cuerdas y locos de mente.En el mundo hay mentiras y falsedades,
hechos, verdades y casualidades,
hay mentalidades horizontales,
verticales y diagonales.Derrotas y fracasos accidentales,
medallas, trofeos y copas mundiales,
en el mundo hay vitaminas y proteínas,
marihuana, éxtasis y cocaína.Hay arboles, ramas, hojas y flores,
hay muchas montañas de colores,
en el mundo hay decisiones divididas,
entradas, salidas, debut, despedidas,Hay inocentes, hay homicidas,
hay muchas bocas, y poca comida,
hay gobernantes y presidentes,
hay agua fría y agua caliente.En el mundo hay micrófonos,
y altoparlantes,
hay seis mil millones de habitantes,
hay gente ordinaria y gente elegante,
pero pero pero…No hay nadie como tu,
no hay nadie como tu mi amor,
no hay nadie como tu.
no hay nadie como tu,
no hay nadie como tu mi amor,
no hay nadie como tu.En el mundo siempre se mueve la tierra,
hay tanques de oxigeno y tanques de guerra,
si el sol y la luna nos dan energía,
se duerme de noche, y se vive de día.Hay gente que rectifica lo que dice,
hay mucha gente que se contradice,
hay algarrobas y algas marinas,
hay vegetarianos y carnicerías.Hay tragos amargos y golosinas,
hay enfermedades y medicinas,
hay bolsillos llenos, carteras vacías,
hay mas ladrones que policías.Hay religiones, hay ateísmo,
hay capitalismo, y comunismo,
aunque nos parecemos no somos los mismos,
porque porque…no hay nadie como tu
no hay nadie como tu mi amor
no hay nadie como tu
como tu
no hay nadie como tu
no hay nadie como tu mi amor
no hay nadie como tu
como tuEn el mundo existen muy buenas ideas,
hay don quijotes y dulcineas,
hay sexo en el baño, sexo en la cama,
sexo sin ropa, sexo en piyama.Hay cosas reales y melodramas,
hay laberintos y crucigramas,
hay chiste en llamadas que nadie contesta,
hay muchas preguntas y pocas respuestas.Hay gente valiente, gente con miedo,
gente que el mundo no le importa un bledo,
gente parada, gente sentada,
gente soñando y gente despertando.Hay gente que nace, gente que muere,
hay gente que odia, y gente que quiere,
en este mundo hay mucha gente
pero pero pero….No hay nadie como tu,
no hay nadie como tu mi amor,
no hay nadie como tu…
Y la remix illllllllllllll de Toy Selectah (mp3 at the Mad Decent blog):
In the world, there are stupid people and smart people
There are virgins and whores
Rich, poor, middle class,
Beautiful things and even some tragedyThere are fat people, medium-sized, and skinny
Horses, hens, sheep, and cows
There are many animals and many people
People who have it together and those going crazyIn the world there are liars and hypocrites
Facts, truths, and chances,
There are many frames of mind,
Horizontal, vertical, and diagonalDefeats, accidental failures,
Medals, trophies, and World Cups
In the world there are vitamins and proteins,
Marijuana, ecstacy, and cocaineThere are trees, branches, leaves, and flowers
There are many mountains of color
In the world there are split decisions,
Entrances, exits, hellos, and goodbyesThere are innocents, there are murderes,
There are many mouths and little food,
There are governors and presidents,
There is cold water and hot water.In the world there are microphones,
and loudspeakers,
There are six thousand million inhabitants,
There are ordinary people and elegant people
but but but …There is no one like you,
There is no one like you, my love,
There is no one like you.
There is no one like you,
There is no one like you, my love,
There is no one like you.In the world the earth always moves,
There are oxygen tanks and war tanks,
If the sun and the moon give us their energy,
Sleep by night and live by dayThere are people that go back on what they say,
There are many people that contradict themselves,
There are (carob?) beans and seafood,
There are vegetarians and butchers.There are bitter pills and sweet candies,
There are diseases and medicines,
Ther are pockets that are full, and wallets that are empty,
There are more thieves than police!There are religions, there is atheism,
There is capitalism, and communism,
But still it seems that we aren’t the same,
Because because …There is no one like you,
There is no one like you, my love,
There is no one like you.
There is no one like you,
There is no one like you, my love,
There is no one like you.In there world there exists many beautiful ideas,
There are Don Quixotes and Dulcineas,
There is sex in the tub, and sex in the bed,
There is sex without clothes, and sex in pajamas,There are real things and melodramas,
There are mazes and crosswords,
There is a so-called joke but no one says the punchline,
There are so many questions and so very few answers.There are valiant people and people worth shit,
People who couldn’t give a damn for the world,
People just standing there, people sitting down,
People that are dreaming and people waking up.There are people being born, people that are dying,
There are people that hate, and people that want,
In this world thare are many many people
but but but …There is no one like you,
There is no one like you, my love,
There is no one like you.
There is no one like you,
There is no one like you, my love,
There is no one like you.
Pronto los latinamericanos pueden hacer chistes…
