The song of the Sirens - El canto de las Sirenas | 120229-8182-jikatu

The song of the Sirens - El canto de las Sirenas | 120229-8182-jikatu

My English Translation (feel free to help me improve it):
The song of the Sirens
by Lily Perkins (both sculptures and poem)

We are the daughters of Gaia ...
We have emerged from the ocean depths
We have left our deep and silent Universe
Going up and down between the foam and waves to talk to the men on earth
For centuries we have sang ... and we have not been heard
For centuries our song made of wind and sea ... has drowned
in the foam...
For centuries our songs has traveled with the seagulls and
albatross's tireless flight ... and was not taken care of...
Finally ... as time is running out ... we have surfaced
To talk to the men on earth ...
Water is the source of all life ... to preserve it, is to preserve life
itself ... but anything that gets thrown to the sea stays there for ...

1 YEAR rope, photos, milk cardboard boxes...
13 YEARS painted wood boards, cartons...
50 YEARS tin cans and polystyrene ...
80 YEARS plastic containers ...
200 YEARS aluminum, batteries and mercury
400-500 YEARS disposable diapers and plastic objects
600 YEARS wire, fishing nets and hooks...

El canto de las Sirenas
por Lily Perkins

Somos las hijas de Gea…
Hemos salidos de las profundidades oceánicas
Hemos abandonado nuestro Universo profundo y silencioso
Subiendo entre la espuma y las olas para hablarle a los hombres
de la tierra
Durante siglos le hemos cantado… y no hemos sido oídas
Durante siglos nuestro canto hecho de viento y de mar… se ahogó
en la espuma…….
Durante siglos nuestro canto viajo con las gaviotas y en el
incansable vuelo del albartos… y no fue atendido…
Finalmente… como el tiempo se acaba… hemos salido a la superficie
A hablarle a los hombres de la tierra…
El agua es nuestra vida… conservala es conservar la vida
misma… pero todo lo que es arrojado al mar por ustedes permanece allí por…

1 AÑO sogas, fotos, cartones de leche…
13 AÑOS maderas pintadas… cartones…
50 AÑOS latas de conservas y poliestireno…
80 AÑOS recipientes plásticos…
200 AÑOS aluminio, pilas y mercurio
400-500 AÑOS pañales descartables y objetos plásticos
600 AÑOS hilos, redes de pesca y anzuelos…
