Original Lyrics
Translation in Spanish

verse

Another head hangs lowly
Otra cabeza cuelga humildemente
Child is slowly taken
Un niño es lentamente secuestrado
And the violence caused such silence
Y la violencia causó tal silencio
Who are we mistaken?
A quien estamos errando

pre-chorus

But you see, it′s not me, it's not my family
Pero ya ves, no soy yo, no es mi familia
In your head, in your head they are fighting
En tu cabeza, en tu cabeza están peleando
With their tanks, and their bombs, and their bombs, and their guns
Con sus tanques y sus bombas, y sus bombas y sus armas
In your head, in your head they are crying
En tu cabeza, en tu cabeza están llorando...

chorus

In your head, in your head
En tu cabeza en tu cabeza
Zombie, zombie, zombie
Zombi, zombi, zombi
What′s in your head? In your head?
¿Qué hay en tu cabeza? En tu cabeza
Zombie, zombie, zombie, oh
Zombi, zombi, zombi

hook

Do, do, do-do, do
Hacer-hacer-hacer-hacer
Do, do, do-do, do
Hacer-hacer-hacer-hacer
Do, do, do-do, do
Hacer-hacer-hacer-hacer
Do, do, do-do, do
Hacer-hacer-hacer-hacer

verse

Another mother's breaking
Otra madre quebrada
Heart is taking over
Su corazón está siendo sometido
When the violence causes silence
Cuando la violencia causa silencio
We must be mistaken
Debemos estar erróneos

pre-chorus

It's the same old theme, since 1916
Es el mismo tema antiguo desde 1916.
In your head, in your head they′re still fighting
En tu cabeza, en tu cabeza todavía pelean
With their tanks, and their bombs, and their bombs, and their guns
Con sus tanques y sus bombas, y sus bombas y sus armas
In your head, in your head they are dying
En tu cabeza, en tu cabeza ellos están muriendo....

chorus

In your head, in your head
En tu cabeza en tu cabeza
Zombie, zombie, zombie
Zombi, zombi, zombi
What′s in your head? In your head?
¿Qué hay en tu cabeza? En tu cabeza
Zombie, zombie, zombie, oh
Zombi, zombi, zombi

outro

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Writer(s): Dolores Mary O'riordan
