The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Pan Y Circo" by Alejandro Filio.
Lyrics
Yo no pregunto cuándo, sino hasta dónde,
aguantará este pueblo que se desangra.
Este pueblo callado de buenos hombres
que su dios ha premiado con la esperanza.
Yo no pregunto quién sino porqué causa
se ha dormido el vigía mientras asaltan.
Yo no pregunto cuántos habrán caído
en aquellas batallas que hay en la historia,
ni porqué a las estatuas en este sitio
han tapado sus bocas lazos de gloria.
Que venga el pan y el circo para los pobres
y ese monstruo nos trague con su censura,
no sea que se despierten los ideales,
se nos caiga el telón,
se nos caiga el telón,
y salga la basura.
No sé quién ha corrido por la canasta
ni pretendo saber dónde se ha metido,
mas tendrá que salir como toda rata
le aplastará una escoba para partirlo.
Lyrics translation
I don't ask when, but how far,
he'll take this bleeding town.
This quiet village of Good Men
that your God has rewarded with hope.
I don't ask Who but why cause
the watchman has fallen asleep while they rob.
I don't ask how many have fallen
in those battles in history,
nor why the statues in this place
they have covered their mouths with the ties of glory.
Let the bread and the circus come for the poor
and that monster swallowed us with his censorship,
lest ideals be awakened,
the curtain is falling,
the curtain is falling,
and take out the trash.
I don't know who ran for the basket.
I don't even pretend to know where he's gone.,
but he'll have to come out like a rat.
he'll crush a broom to break it.
