Cry of war
What are we going to tell the people of this land?oh, oh, when they ask us
what are we going to tell the sons of our country?
oh, oh, when they ask us:
'what happened here?'
What happened here?
what happened here?
How are we going to explain the blood shed?
when they ask us,
how are we going to explain the disappearances?
the freedom of the murderers
the acquittal of genocides.
Mexicans....Mexicans at the cry, at the cry of war1
oh, oh, but there's no war
Mexicans....Mexicans at the cry, at the cry of war
oh, oh, but there's no war
death here is legal.
The drums sound, heartbeats sound,
we are the mothers of the missing,
we are the land, the water, the wind
the voice that demands in its breath,
we are the climate and harsh words,
the clenched fist, the sweating forehead,
I don't move, I don't move because I don't want to go,
when you children grow up, what will you tell them?
What are we going to tell the people of this land?
oh, oh, when they ask us
what are we going to tell the sons of our country?
oh, oh, when they ask us:
'what happened here?'
What happened here?
what happened here?
How are we going to explain the blood shed?
when they ask us,
how are we going to explain the disappearances?
the freedom of the murderers
the acquittal of genocides.
Mexicans....Mexicans at the cry, at the cry of war
oh, oh, but there's no war
Mexicans....Mexicans at the cry, at the cry of war
oh, oh, but there's no war
death here is legal.
Mexicans....Mexicans at the cry, at the cry of war
oh, oh, but there's no war
Mexicans....Mexicans at the cry, at the cry of war
oh, oh, but there's no war
death here is legal. death here is legal,
killing here is normal.
