Human Alchemy by XTC
Lyrics & Translation
English
An alchemy, human alchemy
We stole them from their freedom to be sold
To turn their skins of black into the skins
Of brightest gold
An alchemy, human alchemy
We stoked the fires of trade with human coals
And made our purses from the flailed skins of
Purest souls
An alchemy, human alchemy
Other lands became a larder full of all the good things
All we had to do was go and take
Blood the colour rain that grew our wicked harvest
Black the colour icing on our cake
An alchemy, human alchemy
We stole their babes and mothers, chiefs and braves
Although we held the whip, you knew we were
The real slaves
To alchemy, human alchemy
Alchemy, human alchemy

Spanish translation of Human Alchemy by XTC
Human Alchemy* (original XTC)
An alchemy, human alchemy
We stole them from their freedom to be sold
To turn their skins of black into the skins
Of brightest gold
An alchemy, human alchemy
We stoked the fires of trade with human coals
And made our purses from the flailed skins of
Purest souls
An alchemy, human alchemy
Other lands became a larder full of all the good things
All we had to do was go and take
Blood the colour rain that grew our wicked harvest
Black the colour icing on our cake
An alchemy, human alchemy
We stole their babes and mothers, chiefs and braves
Although we held the whip, you knew we were
The real slaves
To alchemy, human alchemy
Alchemy, human alchemy
Human Alchemy (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Una alquimia, alquimia humana
Les robamos su libertad para ser vendidos
Para convertir sus pieles negras en las pieles
Del oro más brillante
Una alquimia, alquimia humana
Avivamos los fuegos del comercio con carbones humanos
E hicimos nuestros bolsos con las pieles desolladas de
Las almas más puras
Una alquimia, alquimia humana
Otras tierras se convirtieron en una despensa llena de todas las cosas buenas
Todo lo que teníamos que hacer era ir y tomar
Sangre del color de la lluvia que hizo crecer nuestra cosecha malvada
Negro el color del glaseado en nuestro pastel
Una alquimia, alquimia humana
Robamos a sus bebés y madres, jefes y valientes
Aunque teníamos el látigo, sabías que éramos
Los verdaderos esclavos
A la alquimia, alquimia humana
Alquimia, alquimia humana
