Lyrics

Suenen las campanas
mientras duerme la ciudad
suenen en la iglesa
en el valle y en el mar
alguien tiene que escuchar
es que el mundo anda mal
y el tiempo sale disparado
igual que la novia del altar.
Suenen las campanas de San Pedro
a los cuatro vientos
y que todo el mundo oiga que suenen con manos de hierro
es la hora crucial, es ahora o nunca más, porque
lo sagrado que llevamos dentro desaparecerá
Dulce Magdalena toca las campanas por los pobres bajo el sol
agitalas bien y que el mundo sepa que hay un solo Dios
el pastor se echó a dormir y los lobos a reir
y las ovejas van perdidas y sin saber a donde ir Suenen ya, que es la hora de amar
Suenen ya, para poder respirar
Suenen ya, por los pobres diablos
que se creen dioses y se perderán
Suenen ya, por la libertad
para no quedarnos, con lo que nos dan.
Toquen las campanas en Lujan
alto en la torre
que suenen y que traigan buenos aires
van a abrirse las flores
lo que hay que pelear
es tan uno al final, porque
la distancia cada vez, es más corta entre el bien y el mal.

Lyrics translation

Ring the bells
while the city sleeps
ring in the church
in the Valley and in the sea
someone has to listen
is that the world is wrong
and time goes soaring
just like the bride at the altar.
Ring The Bells of St. Peter
to the Four Winds
and let everyone hear that they sound with iron hands
it's the crucial time, it's now or never, because
the sacred we carry inside will disappear
Sweet cupcake rings the bells for the poor under the sun
shake them well and let the world know that there is only one God
the Shepherd went to sleep and the Wolves laughed
and the sheep are lost and not knowing where to go Sound already, it's time to love
Ring now, so I can breathe
Sound already, for the poor devils
they think they're gods and they'll be lost
Play now, for freedom
so we don't stay, with what they give us.
Ring the bells in Lujan
high on the tower
let them ring and bring buenos aires
the flowers will open
what to fight
it's so one in the end, because
the distance is getting shorter and shorter between good and evil.
