They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

El bosque talado
En un museo está
Te cobran por ver
Un dólar y medio nomás

No le das todo el valor
A lo que tienes y se perdió
En el Edén hay un parqueo hoy ya

Hey farmer, farmer
Put away the DDT now
Leave the spots on my apples
Just give me the birds and the bees, please

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
They paved paradise
Put up a parking lot

Mi puerta anoche
De golpe se cerró
Y un gran taxi amarillo
A mi hombre se llevó
No le das todo el valor
A lo que tienes y se perdió
En el Edén hay un parqueo hoy ya

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
En el Edén hay un parqueo hoy ya
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
