Lyrics

Como es posible, que en el año en que vivimos
Muera gente, por inanición
Como me explica, que en países como este
Pueda haber hambre cada vez
No entiendo, dígamelo usted
Cuándo lo piensan resolver
Yo ya estoy viendo, que las calles de mi barrio
Van llenándose de frustración
Si no hacen algo, dentro de muy poco tiempo
No habrá modo, no habrá vuelta atrás
Porque no dejan de charlar
Llego el momento de actuar
Tanto discutir, sobran las ofrendan
Niños sin comer, con harapos como prendas
Puede usted dormir, no tiene usted conciencia
Esta es su misión, es el hambre que se acerca
Los padres piensan, en como decirle
A sus hijos que esta noche no hay ni pan
Si usted lo viera, no tendría los cojones
De drenarse a gusto ese manjar
Cuándo pretenden trabajar
En lo importante de verdad
Tanto discutir, sobran las ofrendan
Niños sin comer, con harapos como prendas
Puede usted dormir, no tiene usted conciencia
Esta es su misión, es el hambre que se acerca
Tanto discutir, sobran las ofrendan
Niños sin comer, con harapos como prendas
Puede usted dormir, no tiene usted conciencia
Esta es su misión, es el hambre que se acerca

Lyrics translation

As it is possible, that in the year we live
People die from starvation
As he explains to me, that in countries like this
May there be hunger every time
I don't understand. you tell me.
When do they plan to solve it
I'm already seeing, that the streets of my neighborhood
They're getting full of frustration.
If you don't do something, in a very short time
There will be no way, there will be no turning back
Because they keep chatting
The time has come to act
So much to discuss, so much to offer
Children without food, with rags as clothes
Can you sleep, don't you have a conscience
This is your mission, it is the hunger that is coming
Parents think, how to tell him
To your children that tonight there is no bread
If you saw him, he wouldn't have the balls.
To drain at ease that delicacy
When they intend to work
In the really important
So much to discuss, so much to offer
Children without food, with rags as clothes
Can you sleep, don't you have a conscience
This is your mission, it is the hunger that is coming
So much to discuss, so much to offer
Children without food, with rags as clothes
Can you sleep, don't you have a conscience
This is your mission, it is the hunger that is coming
