Lyrics
Yo tengo sangre Americana
De una merica que estaba antes del nombre
De patria, de bandera escusas y mentiras
Tengo rasgos de una realidad
Que no sale ni en telenovelas, ni se ve en publicidad
Yo tengo sangre Americana
De la que mas derrama pa' escribir
La historia americana como el viejo Chief Seattle
Como todos los soldados razos
Que se mueren viendo morir esta tierra
Esto no va a pasar, esto no va cambiar
Esto no va a dejar de ser una comedia
La comedia del que no se quiere
Esto no va a pasar, esto no va cambiar
Porque no hay un disparo que pueda borrar la historia
Que nos corre por las venas
Yo me doy cuenta cuando entro
A algun club de sociedad o tienda fina
O en la fila de una discoteca de que
Yo tengo sangre Americana
Como el puma, como el condor
Como el aguila del gran escudo
Se que no debo decirlo
Pero debo decirlo, al menos decirlo
Subsiste, respira mi sangre Americana
Esto no va a pasar, esto no va a cambiar
Esto no va a dejar de ser una tragedia
La tragedia del que no se quiere
Esto no va a pasar, esto no va a sanar
Porque no hay un disparo que pueda borrar la historia
Que nos corre por las venas
Se que no debo decirlo
Al menos decirte mi sangre Americana
Esto no va a pasar, esto no va a sanar
Porque no hay un disparo que pueda borrar la historia
Que nos corre por las venas
Lyrics translation
I have American blood
Of a merica that was before the name
Of country, of flag excuses and lies
I have features of a reality
That doesn't come out in soap operas, nor is it seen in advertising
I have American blood
The one that spills most to write
American history as the old Chief Seattle
Like all razors soldiers
Who die watching this land die
This is not going to happen, this is not going to change
This is not going to stop being a comedy
The comedy you don't want
This is not going to happen, this is not going to change
Because there's not a shot that can erase the story
That runs through our veins
I can tell when I come in.
To some Society club or fine shop
Or in the row of a nightclub that
I have American blood
Like the puma, like The condor
Like the eagle of the great shield
I know I shouldn't say it.
But I must say it, at least say it
Subsists, breathes my American blood
This is not going to happen, this is not going to change
This will not cease to be a tragedy
The tragedy of the unloved
This isn't gonna happen, this isn't gonna heal
Because there's not a shot that can erase the story
That runs through our veins
I know I shouldn't say it.
At least tell you my American blood
This isn't gonna happen, this isn't gonna heal
Because there's not a shot that can erase the story
That runs through our veins
