CANCIONES DEL SOLAR DE LOS ABURRIDOS

Tiburon / Shark

Shark who's searching in the shore sharkRespect my flag..A beating so he learns there's honor hereSo he sees that in the Caribbean the prawn doesn't sleepIf you see him coming beat the sharkLet's beat him without hesitatingIf you see him coming beat the sharkThe union makes the strength and our salvationIf you see him coming beat the sharkWhat a beautiful flag what a beautiful flagIf you see him coming beat the shark..

ESCENAS

Muevete / Move

From the Caribbean to Soweto in Africagoes our song as a salute,to those who defend their right to freedomand use truth as their shield...Bullets cannot kill truthwhen its defended by reason.Let’s us all get together to stop evil;Move with all your heart, here and there...

CLANDESTINOClandestino / Clandestine

To a city of the northI went to workI left my lifeBetween Ceuta andGibraltarI'm a line in the seaA ghost in the cityMy life is forbiddenSo says the authority..Alone I go with my sorrowAlone goes my sentenceTo run is my destinyFor having no papersLostIn the heartOf the great BabylonThey call me clandestineI'm the lawbreaker.

CALLE 13

Querido FBI / Dear FBI..Housing estates, country houses, the FBI is in troubleThey are screwed, the White House's fuc***Now I'm going to explode with styleIn the name of Filiberto Ojeda RiosMe down the right lung but still breathingI'm going to the shooting, but still breathingA federal stones throw themAnd if there were stones for shot with guiroWith whatever, knocked on the man but not the idea..

(Fight, fight!)(As wrestling!)(Por la libre, viva Puerto Rico libre!)(There are many sharks in the Caribbean!)..

LA SANTA CECILIA

ICE El Hielo.ICE is loose over those streets. [*ICE = Immigrations and Customs Enforcement; ice = hielo]We never know when we will be hit. [*alt. We never know when it will be our turn.]They cry, the children cry at the doorway,They cry when they see that their mother will not come back..One is left here.Another is left there.That's what happens when you go out to work...Martha arrived as a girl and she dreams of studying,But it is difficult for her without documents.They keep all the prizes, the ones who were born over here,But she never stops fighting. [*alt. But she never stops trying.]. https://songlations.livejournal.com/66950.html
