The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Si el Norte Fuera el Sur" by Ricardo Arjona.
Lyrics
El norte, sus McDonald’s, basketball y rock 'n' roll
Sus topless, sus Madonnas y el abdomen de Stallone
Intelectuales del bronceado, eruditos de supermercado
Tienen todo pero nada lo han pagado
Con 18 eres un nio para un trago en algn bar
Pero ya eres todo un hombre pa' la guerra y pa' matar
Viva Vietnam y que viva Forest Gump
Viva Wall Street y que viva Donald Trump
Viva el Seven Eleven
Polvean su nariz y usan jeringa en sus bolsillos
Viajan con marihuana para entender la situacin
De este juez del planeta que lanza una invitacin
Crtaselo a tu marido y ganars reputacin
Las barras y las estrellas se aduean de mi bandera
Y nuestra libertad no es otra cosa que una ramera
Y si la deuda externa nos rob la primavera
Al diablo la geografa se acabaron las fronteras
Si el norte fuera el sur seran los Sioux los marginados
Ser moreno y chaparrito sera el look ms cotizado
Marcos sera el Rambo Mexicano
Y Cindy Crawford la Mench de mis paisanos
Reagan sera Somoza
Fidel sera un atleta corriendo bolsas por Wall Street
Y el Ch hara hamburguesas al estilo Double Meat
Los yankees de mojados a Tijuana
Y las balsas de Miami a la Habana, si el norte fuera el sur
Seramos igual? o tal vez un poco peor
Con las Malvinas por Groenlandia
Y en Guatemala un Disneylandia
Y un Simn Bolivar rompiendo su secreto
Ah les va el 187, fuera a los yankees por decreto
Las barras y las estrellas se aduean de mi bandera
Y nuestra libertad no es otra cosa que una ramera
Y si la deuda externa nos rob la primavera
Al diablo la geografa se acabaron las fronteras
Si el norte fuera el sur, sera la misma porquera
Yo cantara un rap y esta cancin no existira
Lyrics translation
The north, its McDonald's, basketball and rock ' n ' roll
His topless, his Madonnas and Stallone's abdomen
Tanning intellectuals, supermarket scholars
They have everything but nothing they have paid for
With 18 you're a kid for a drink at algn bar
But you're already a man for war and killing
Long Live Vietnam and Long Live Forest Gump
Long Live Wall Street and Long Live Donald Trump
Long Live The Seven Eleven
Powder your nose and use a syringe in your pockets
Travel with marijuana to understand the situation
From this judge of the planet throwing an invitation
Trust your husband and earn a reputation
The bars and stars take over my flag
And our freedom is nothing but a whore
And if foreign debt rob us the spring
To hell with geography the borders are over
If the North were the south, the Sioux would be the outcasts.
Be brunette and chaparrito will be the most quoted look
Marcos will be the Mexican Rambo
And Cindy Crawford the Mench of my countrymen
Reagan sera Somoza
Fidel will be an athlete running bags down Wall Street
And the Ch will do double Meat burgers
The yankees from wet to Tijuana
And the rafts from Miami to Havana, if the North were the South
Will we be the same? or maybe a little worse
With the Falklands by Greenland
And in Guatemala a Disneyland
And a Bolivar Simn breaking his secret
Ah, 187 goes, out to the yankees by decree.
The bars and stars take over my flag
And our freedom is nothing but a whore
And if foreign debt rob us the spring
To hell with geography the borders are over
If the North were the south, it would be the same dump
I'll sing a rap and this cancin won't exist
