The place’ll the Kids Play? – The Trauma and Psychological Well being Report
“¿Dónde jugarán los niños? / The place will the youngsters play?” is the tune that gave its title to the third album by the Mexican rock group Maná. It was revealed in 1992; sadly, the message embedded within the lyrics and the considerations expressed concerning the sustainability of our future are extra related at present. This tune addresses the nostalgia, ache and intergenerational trauma generated by the consequences of air pollution and local weather change.
The tune has three components. First, the tune begins with a recollection of a grandfather’s recollections of rising up in reference to nature.
| “Cuenta el abuelo que de niño él jugó
Entre árboles y risas Y alcatraces de colour Recuerda un río transparente y sin olor Donde abundaban peces No sufrían ni un dolor Cuenta mi abuelo de un cielo muy azul |
“Grandfather says that as a baby he performed
Between timber and laughter, and gannets of color Bear in mind a clear river with out scent The place fish abounded, they didn’t endure a single ache Grandfather tells of a really blue sky The place he flew kites that he constructed himself” |
The following verse is the story’s turning level: the grandfather died, and it implies that along with his loss their future additionally vanished.
| “El tiempo pasó y Nuestro viejo ya murió” | “Time handed and our outdated man has died” |
The tune then closes with the grandchild elevating his voice, denouncing what they’ve misplaced, what was taken from them, and expressing the worry, nervousness and anger over what’s left for the generations to come back, for his or her youngsters, our youngsters.
| “Y hoy me pregunté
Después de tanta destrucción ¿Dónde diablos jugarán los pobres niños? La tierra está a punto de partirse en dos ¿Dónde diablos jugarán los pobres Niños?” |
“And at present I puzzled, after a lot destruction.
The place the hell will they play? The poor youngsters? Oh, oh, oh, the place will they play? The world is rotting, there isn’t any place anymore No place The Earth is about to separate in two The sky has already been damaged; the gray cry has already been damaged The ocean vomits rivers of oil incessantly And at present I puzzled, after a lot destruction. The place the hell will they play?” |
