Lyrics
Fue el 22 de diciembre
Dos dias antes de la navidad
Cuando en los altos de Chiapas
La sangre se derramo
Fue una masacre al estilo
De la Santa Inquisicion
Dicen que estaban orando
Cuando la muerte les llego
Eran ancianos y niños
Y tambien mujeres embarazadas
¿porque los asesinaron?
Nadie sabe la razon
Y lo cierto es que…
En el 68 en Tlatelolco
En el 95 en Aguas Blancas
Y en el 97 en Chiapas
Se ha manchado de sangre nuestra constitucion
Han matado a mucha gente
Y han abusado del poder
Con la vara que han medido
Con la misma seran medidos
Vaya amarga navidad
La que se vivio en Acteal
Tristemente celebre…
Chenalo se volvio
Y es que no existe el respeto al derecho ajeno
Y nos siguen dando atole con el dedo
Nos siguen dando atole con el dedo…
Lo cierto es que…
En el 68 en Tlatelolco
En el 95 en Aguas Blancas
Y en el 97 en Chiapas
Se ha manchado de sangre nuestra constitucion
Han matado a mucha gente
Y han abusado del poder
Con la vara que han medido
Con la misma seran medidos
Lyrics translation
It was December 22
Two days before Christmas
When in the highlands of Chiapas
The blood spilled
It was a massacre like that.
From the Holy Inquisition
They say they were praying
When death comes to them
They were old people and children
And also pregnant women
because they were murdered?
No one knows the reason
And the truth is that…
In ' 68 in Tlatelolco
In ' 95 in Aguas Blancas
And in ' 97 in Chiapas
Our Constitution has been stained with blood
They've killed a lot of people.
And have abused power
With the rod they have measured
With it they will be measured
What a bitter Christmas
The one that was lived in Acteal
Sadly celebrated…
Chenalo turned
And there is no respect for the right of others
And they keep giving us atoll with their finger
They keep giving us atoll with the finger…
The truth is that…
In ' 68 in Tlatelolco
In ' 95 in Aguas Blancas
And in ' 97 in Chiapas
Our Constitution has been stained with blood
They've killed a lot of people.
And have abused power
With the rod they have measured
With it they will be measured
