The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Me Matan Si No Trabajo" by Daniel Viglietti.
Lyrics
Me matan si no trabajo,
y si trabajo me matan.
Siempre me matan, me matan, ay,
siempre me matan.
Ayer vi a un hombre mirando,
mirando el sol que salía.
El hombre estaba muy serio
porque el hombre no veía.
Ay, los ciegos viven sin ver
cuando sale el sol.
Ayer vi a un niño jugando
a que mataba a otro niño.
Hay niños que se parecen
a los hombres trabajando.
Ay, quién le dirá cuando crezcan
que los hombres no son niños,
que no lo son.
Lyrics translation
They'll kill me if I don't work.,
and if I work, they kill me.
They always kill me, they kill me, Oh,
they always kill me.
Yesterday I saw a man looking,
watching the Rising Sun.
The man was very serious
because the man couldn't see.
Oh, the blind live without seeing
when the sun comes up.
Yesterday I saw a child playing
that he was killing another kid.
There are children who look like
men working.
Oh, who will tell you when you grow up
that men are not children,
they're not.
