Lyrics
En un desierto lejos de ti, me confesé Que todo lo que siempre creÃ, mentira fue
Soy hermano, soy esposo, hijo y padre
Soy guerrero, y mucha sangre derrame
Ah eh solo con mi pena
Ah eh solo en mi dolor
Ah eh sufro mi condena
De no verte nunca mas
Violeta
De esta matanza, mi quise escapar
Solo por ti Pero una bala mi vida alcanzo
Y yo perdÃ
Fui hermano, fui esposo, hijo y padre
Fui soldado, y tanta sangre derrame
Ah eh solo con mi pena
Ah eh solo en mi dolor
Ah eh sufro mi condena
De no verte nunca mas
Violeta
Todo pudo ser
Que nunca pude ver
Que en querrá el que gana
La paz ha de perder
Hoy la decisión queda para ti Dejar tu propia sangre, ir a morir
¿Y tu mama que dice?
Tu hermano y tu papa
¿Que dicen?
¿Tu hijo y tu marido que dicen?
Los nietos, tu abuela
Dime que te dicen
¿Gente, que dice?
¿Los músicos del mundo que dice?
De frente y a luchar
¿Que dicen?
Por la igualdad y los derechos
Dime que te dicen
Lyrics translation
In a desert far from you, I confessed that everything I ever believed, was a lie
I am Brother, I am husband, son and father
I'm a warrior, and a lot of blood spills
Ah eh only with my grief
Ah eh alone in my pain
Ah eh I suffer my sentence
To never see you again
Violet
From this slaughter, I wanted to escape
Only for you but one bullet my life reaches
And I lost
I was brother, I was husband, son and father
I was a soldier, and so much blood spilt
Ah eh only with my grief
Ah eh alone in my pain
Ah eh I suffer my sentence
To never see you again
Violet
Everything could be
That I could never see
That in will the one who wins
Peace must lose
Today the decision remains for you to leave your own blood, go to die
What does your mom say?
Your brother and your dad
What do they say?
What do your son and your husband say?
Grandchildren, your grandmother
Tell me what they tell you
People, what do you say?
The musicians of the world you say?
Front and fight
What do they say?
For equality and rights
Tell me what they tell you
