Lyrics

Cargamos en las espaldas dictaduras de salones
Que golpearon sin retorno sin perdón y sin piedad
A esos hombres que soñaron con dar fin a aquella historia
Que no cabe en la memoria, pero en la memoria está
Conquistando otro lugar.
Cargamos en el destino autopistas tenebrosas
Donde habitan esos cuerpos del delito de pensar
Que alimentan esas dagas de abrir las alas del viento
Para que marchen los lamentos en busca de libertad
Agua, rosas y verdad.
Llevamos en las espaldas utopías generosas
Que no dieron todo el fruto cuando estaba por llegar
El puente estaba atascado, el rock con nuevos peinados
Unos sacaron el pecho y ahí el puerto dio lugar
A otra era libre, sin igual, tan desigual.
Cargamos en los pinceles uno a uno los colores
De esa eterna ignorancia del yo me quiero salvar
Solo al precio de que algunos queden ciegos sin aliento
Y eso va por los que ganan, si ellos creen que es ganar
Para todos aquellos que quedaron atrás.
Luego vino el descontento, cada cual en cada choza
Cada quien en cada cosa y la misma incredulidad
Corralitos, cacerolas, tres disparos y a la lona
Hubo sangre, hubo caídos, algo había que cambiar.
Fue muy duro el vendaval.
Y uno de esos criminales quiso cubrir esa escoria
Convocando a accesorias tribus para sosegar
Algunas cosas cambiaron, otras siguen sucediendo
Hay que seguirlas combatiendo día a día sin parar.
Alejando el vendaval.
A pesar de diferencias
La vereda es la misma
Porque enfrente esta esa isla que nos quiere separar.
No queremos más inviernos
Ni tan cortas primaveras
Yo te sigo en esta fiesta
en la otra se vera, se vera.

Lyrics translation

We carry on the backs dictatorships of salones
Who struck without return without forgiveness and without mercy
To those men who dreamed of ending that story
That does not fit in memory, but in memory is
Conquering another place.
We load on the destination dark highways
Where these bodies of the crime of thinking Live
That feed those daggers to open the wings of the wind
So that the mourners may march in search of freedom
Water, roses and truth.
We carry on our backs generous utopias
Who did not give all the fruit when it was about to come
The bridge was jammed, the rock with new hairstyles
Some pulled out the chest and there the port gave way
Another was free, unrivaled, so unequal.
We load on the brushes one by one the colors
From that eternal ignorance of the self I want to save myself
Only at the cost of some going blind breathless
And that goes for those who win, if they think it's winning
For all those left behind.
Then came the displeasure, every man in every hut
Every one in every thing and the same unbelief
Corralitos, pans, three shots and to the tarpaulin
There was blood, there were casualties, something had to change.
It was very rough the gale.
And one of those criminals wanted to cover that scum
Summoning accessory tribes to sooth
Some things have changed, others continue to happen
We must continue to fight them day by day without stopping.
Pushing the gale away.
Despite differences
The path is the same
Because in front of this island that wants to separate us.
We don't want any more winters
Not so short Springs
I follow you to this party
on the other one you'll see, you'll see.
