Translation in Spanish

intro

They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
Pavimentaron el paraíso, pusieron un estacionamiento
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot
Con un hotel rosa, una boutique y un lugar de moda swingin '

chorus

Don't it always seem to go
No parece siempre
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
Que no sabes lo que tienes hasta que se ha ido
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
Pavimentaron el paraíso, pusieron un estacionamiento
(Ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop, ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop)
(Ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop, ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop)

verse

They took all the trees put 'em in a tree museum
Se llevaron todos los árboles y los pusieron en un museo de árboles
And they charged the people a dollar an' a half just to see 'em
Y le cobraron a la gente un dólar y medio solo para verlos

chorus

Don't it always seem to go
No parece siempre
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
Que no sabes lo que tienes hasta que se ha ido
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
Pavimentaron el paraíso, pusieron un estacionamiento
(Ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop, ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop)
(Ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop, ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop)

verse

Hey farmer, farmer put away that DDT now
Oye granjero, granjero guarda ese DDT ahora
Give me spots on my apples, but leave me the birds and the bees
Dame manchas en mis manzanas, pero déjame los pájaros y las abejas
Please
Por favor!

chorus

Don't it always seem to go
No parece siempre
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
Que no sabes lo que tienes hasta que se ha ido
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
Pavimentaron el paraíso, pusieron un estacionamiento
(Ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop, ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop)
(Ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop, ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop)

verse

Late last night I heard the screen door slam
Tarde anoche escuché cerrarse la puerta mosquitera
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man
Y un gran taxi amarillo se llevó a mi viejo

chorus

Don't it always seem to go
No parece siempre
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
Que no sabes lo que tienes hasta que se ha ido
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot (ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop)
Pavimentaron el paraíso, pusieron un estacionamiento (Ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop)

chorus

I said don't it always seem to go
Dije que no siempre parece ir
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
Que no sabes lo que tienes hasta que se ha ido
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot (ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop)
Pavimentaron el paraíso, pusieron un estacionamiento (Ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop)
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot (ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop)
Pavimentaron el paraíso, pusieron un estacionamiento (Ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop)
They paved paradise
Pavimentaron el paraíso
Put up a parking lot
Pusieron un estacionamiento
Writer(s): Joni Mitchell
