White Man by Queen
Lyrics & Translation
English
I'm a simple man
With a simple name
From this soil my people came
In this soil remain
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
We made us our shoes
We trod soft on the land
But the immigrant built roads
On our blood and sand
Oh yeah
White man, white man
Don't you see the light
Behind your blackened skies
White man, white man
You took away the sights
To blind my simple eyes, yeah
White man, white man
Where you gonna hide
From the hell you've made?
Oh, the red man knows war
With his hands and his knives
On the Bible you swore
Fought your battle with lies
Oh yeah
Leave my body in shame
Leave my soul in disgrace
But by every God's name
Say your prayers for your race
Oh yeah
White man, white man
Our country was green
And all our rivers wide
White man, white man
You came with a gun
And soon our children died
White man, white man
Don't you give a light
For the blood you've shed?
Ooh yeah
Oh-uh-oh
(White man, white man)
White man
(White man, white man)
Ooh, white man
You fought your battle with lies, yeah
(White man, white man)
On and on, on and on
But we weren't too civilized, yeah
(White man, white man)
Look around you
Take a look around
Every skin and bone
Yeah, I'll getcha, I'll getcha, yeah
What is left of your dream?
Just the words on your stone
A man who learned how to teach
Then forgot how to learn
Oh yeah

White Man (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Soy un hombre simple
Con un nombre simple
De esta tierra vino mi gente
En esta tierra permanecen
Oh sí
Oh sí
Nos hicimos nuestros zapatos
Pisamos suavemente la tierra
Pero el inmigrante construyó caminos
Sobre nuestra sangre y arena
Oh sí
Hombre blanco, hombre blanco
¿No ves la luz
Detrás de tus cielos ennegrecidos?
Hombre blanco, hombre blanco
Te llevaste las vistas
Para cegar mis ojos simples, sí
Hombre blanco, hombre blanco
¿Dónde te vas a esconder
Del infierno que has creado?
Oh, el hombre rojo conoce la guerra
Con sus manos y sus cuchillos
Sobre la Biblia juraste
Luchaste tu batalla con mentiras
Oh sí
Deja mi cuerpo en la vergüenza
Deja mi alma en desgracia
Pero por el nombre de cada Dios
Di tus oraciones por tu raza
Oh sí
Hombre blanco, hombre blanco
Nuestro país era verde
Y todos nuestros ríos anchos
Hombre blanco, hombre blanco
Viniste con un arma
Y pronto nuestros hijos murieron
Hombre blanco, hombre blanco
¿No das una luz
Por la sangre que has derramado?
Ooh sí
Oh-uh-oh
(Hombre blanco, hombre blanco)
Hombre blanco
(Hombre blanco, hombre blanco)
Ooh, hombre blanco
Luchaste tu batalla con mentiras, sí
(Hombre blanco, hombre blanco)
Una y otra vez, una y otra vez
Pero no éramos demasiado civilizados, sí
(Hombre blanco, hombre blanco)
Mira a tu alrededor
Echa un vistazo
Cada piel y hueso
Sí, te atraparé, te atraparé, sí
¿Qué queda de tu sueño?
Solo las palabras en tu lápida
Un hombre que aprendió a enseñar
Luego olvidó cómo aprender
Oh sí
