Lyrics
Quiero vivir en America
quiero morir en America
quiero ser libre en America
me van a matar en America
El V centenario, no hay nada que festejar
latinoamericano descorazonado
hijo bastardo de colonias asesinas
cinco siglos no son para fiesta
celebrando la matanza al indigena
Falsos estandartes en las carabelas
cruzando oceanos, la decadencia
hispanoamerica se viste de fiesta
celebrando la matanza al indigena
No hay nada que festejar
Juventud de America, no debemos festejar
colonia imperialista teñida de sangre
sangre nativa, sangre de la tierra
Donde el indio nacio y no pudo conservar
donde el indio murio y crecio sueños de libertad (bis)
No hay nada que festejar
Lyrics translation
I want to live in America
I want to die in America
I want to be free in America
they're gonna kill me in America.
The fifth centenary, there's nothing to celebrate
Latin American disheartened
bastard son of killer colonies
five centuries are not for party
celebrating the killing of the indigenous
False banners on the carabelas
crossing oceans, decadence
hispanoamerica dresses up for party
celebrating the killing of the indigenous
There's nothing to celebrate
Youth of America, we must not celebrate
blood-stained imperialist colony
native blood, blood of the Earth
Where the Indian was born and could not preserve
where the Indian died and grew dreams of freedom (bis)
There's nothing to celebrate
