Living Through Another Cuba by XTC
Lyrics & Translation
English
Living through another Cuba
it's 1961 again and we are piggy in the middle
while war is polishing his drum and peace plays second fiddle
Russia and America are at each other's throats
but don't you cry
just on your knees and pray, and while you're
down there, kiss your arse goodbye
We're the bulldog on the fence
while others play their tennis overhead
it's hardly love all and somebody might
wind up red or dead
pour some oil on the water quick
it doesn't really matter where from
he love me, he loves me not
he's pulling fins from an atom bomb
This phenomenon happens every 20 years or so
if they're not careful your watch won't be the
only thing with a radioactive glow
I'll stick my fingers in my ears
and hope they make it up before too late
if we get through this lot alright
they're due for replay, 1998

Living Through Another Cuba (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Viviendo otra Cuba
es 1961 de nuevo y estamos en medio
mientras la guerra pule su tambor y la paz toca el segundo violín
Rusia y América están a la garganta del otro
pero no llores
solo de rodillas y reza, y mientras estás
ahí abajo, despídete de tu trasero
Somos el bulldog en la valla
mientras otros juegan su tenis por encima
apenas es amor todo y alguien podría
terminar rojo o muerto
vierte un poco de aceite en el agua rápido
realmente no importa de dónde
me ama, no me ama
está sacando aletas de una bomba atómica
Este fenómeno ocurre cada 20 años más o menos
si no tienen cuidado tu reloj no será lo
único con un brillo radioactivo
Me taparé los oídos
y espero que lo arreglen antes de que sea demasiado tarde
si superamos esto bien
están listos para la repetición, 1998
