Lyrics

Mi pobre patria, aplastada por abusos del poder
de gente infame que no conosce el pudor,
se creen los duenos todopoderosos
y piensan que todo les pertenece
Los gobernantes, cuntos perfectos e intiles bufones
en esta tierra que el dolor ha devastado
pero es que no sentis nada de pena
ante esos cuerpos tendidos sin vida?
No cambiar, no cambiar
no cambiar, quiz cambiar
Y cmo excusarlos, las hienas en estadios y aqullas
de la prensa chapoteando en el fango como cerdos
Yo me averguenzo un poco y me hace dano
ver a los hombres como animales
No cambiar, no cambiar
no cambiar, quiz cambiar
Esperamos que el mundo vuelva a cotas ms normales,
que pueda contemplar con calma el cielo
que nunca ms se hable de dictaras,
porque quiz tendremos que ir tirando
mientras la primavera tarda an en llegar

Lyrics translation

My poor country, crushed by abuses of power
of infamous people who do not know modesty,
they believe the Almighty owners
and they think everything belongs to them
The rulers, perfect cunts and Intile buffoons
in this land that pain has devastated
but you don't feel any pity
before those bodies lying lifeless?
Do not change, do not change
do not change, quiz change
And how to excuse them, the hyenas in stadiums and aqullas
from the press splashing in the mud like pigs
I feel a little ashamed and hurt me
seeing men as animals
Do not change, do not change
do not change, quiz change
We expect the world to return to more normal heights,
that I can calmly contemplate the sky
never talk about dictaras,
'cause I guess we'll have to pull
while spring takes an to arrive
