Lyrics

Desviaciones De La Cancion Informal
No Se Olvida
No se si es por ser despues del mes de la independencia
Que patriotas declarados tomen con indiferencia
Se excluyo del calendario, de las fechas oficiales
Pero nunca le han faltado al 2 de Octubre honores tales
Clausurados los festejos con que se viste Septiembre luego
Viene a distanciar al pueblo de sus dirigentes
Y entonces si que empezamos a tomar las reverencias
Y se activa la memoria, vuelven las historias viejas
Y hay quien habla del respeto a un poder que provocaron
Que si hubo estudiantes muertos, fue porque se lo ganaron
Y ante estas me he cuestioando si alguien se puede ganar
Que otro le niegue el derecho de volver a respirar
De que lo priven de todo, su futuro y sus recuerdos
Por la ofensa imperdonable de que no vive de acuerdo
2 de Octubre en Tlatelolco contin#a estando presente
Ronda en plazas y mitines
Pavoroso y contundente
Porque es el dia nacional que no se perdono la vida
Por esto y por los que faltan
2 de Octubre no se olvida
Lo que para unos sirvio como un recorte de maleza
Entre la gran mayoria solo es motivo de verguenza
Pero hay quien alzo su pun~o ante algo inaceptable
Porque el golpe fue de muy alto y se volvio incontestable
Hoy al fin no es mi intencion reavivar viejas cenizas
Aunque siempre se lamenta que no se hiciera justicia
Y que las manos manchadas continuen bien escondidas
Entre los que van y vienen que ante todo cierran filas
Y a Octubre lo ensucia un dia de matanza en la gran plaza
De la que tantos muchachos nunca volvieron a casa
2 de Octubre en Tlatelolco contin#a estando presente
Ronda en plazas y mitines
Pavoroso y contundente
Porque es el dia nacional que no se perdono la vida
Por esto y por los que faltan
2 de Octubre no se olvida
Yo pregunto al evocar las heridas que nunca cierran
Cuando dejaran de rondar 2 de Octubres en la tierra?

Lyrics translation

Deviations From The Informal Song
Don't Forget
I don't know if it's because it's after Independence month.
That declared Patriots take with indifference
Excluded from the calendar, from the official dates
But the 2nd of October has never lacked such honors
Closed the festivities with which she dresses September later
He comes to distance the people from their leaders
And then we start taking the curtsey
And memory is activated, old stories come back
And there are those who speak of respect for a power that they provoked
That if there were dead students, it was because they earned it
And before these I have wondered if anyone can win
Let another deny you the right to breathe again
To deprive him of everything, his future and his memories
For the unforgivable offense of not living according
October 2 in Tlatelolco continue to be present
Round in squares and rallies
Scary and forceful
'Cause it's the national day they don't lose their lives
For this and for those who are missing
October 2 is not forgotten
What for some served as a clipping of weeds
Among the vast majority is only cause for shame
But there are those who raise their point to something unacceptable
Because the blow was too high and became indisputable
Today at last it is not my intention to revive old Ashes
Although it is always regretted that justice was not done
And that the stained hands remain well hidden
Among those who come and go who first of all close ranks
And in October it gets dirty a day of slaughter in the big square
From which so many boys never came home
October 2 in Tlatelolco continue to be present
Round in squares and rallies
Scary and forceful
'Cause it's the national day they don't lose their lives
For this and for those who are missing
October 2 is not forgotten
I ask by evoking the wounds that never close
When will they stop circling October 2 on Earth?
