Todo empezó con sexo droga y vino
It all started with sex, drugs and wine
Justo cuando el sol dejo de laborar
Right when the sun stopped working
Se oye el clamor campesino
You can hear the peasant's cry
Se oye que invadió la ciudad
You can hear it invaded the city
Un gobernante que fue un mal negociante
A ruler who was a poor negotiator
Y no tan popular
And not so popular
Se burla de un pueblo errante que le viene a reclamar
Mocks a wandering people coming to demand
Lo poco que tengo lo tengo por ti y tu
What little I have, I have it for you and yours
todo lo que tienes me lo quitaste a mí
Everything you have, you took it from me
Por que vos robás y así te divertis
Because you steal and that’s how you have fun
Por que vos paras y casi matas para vivir
Because you stop and nearly kill to live
Me alegra verte contento
It makes me happy to see you content
Me alegra verte tan feliz
It makes me happy to see you so happy
Que te sirva tu alimento
May your food serve you well
Y que engordes como perdiz
And may you fatten up like a partridge
El grito de un volcán y la fuerza de un huracán
The scream of a volcano and the strength of a hurricane
No quebrantan nuestros sueños
They do not break our dreams
El grito de un volcán y la fuerza de un huracán
The scream of a volcano and the strength of a hurricane
No quebrantan nuestros sueños
They do not break our dreams
El grito
The scream
El grito
The scream
El grito
The scream
El grito
The scream
Nos amaremos en el suelo
We will love each other on the ground
¿Y qué?
And so what?
Soy un normal producto latino
I’m a normal Latin product
Que se ahoga en sueños y trabaja por su pan
Drowning in dreams and working for his bread
Que con un cafe engaña su intestino
Deceiving his gut with a coffee
Y que con la fe acalora su hogar
And with faith, he warms his home
Tengo los ojos dormidos
I have sleepy eyes
Estoy harto de pelear
I'm tired of fighting
No es rico estar oprimido
It's not great to be oppressed
No se mantiene la paz
Peace doesn't hold up
Si nos cae un chaparrón buscaremos solución
If a downpour hits, we'll find a solution
Si nos falta un colchón nos amaremos en el suelo
If we lack a mattress, we'll love on the floor
¿Y qué?
And so what?
El grito de un volcán y la fuerza de un huracán
The scream of a volcano, and the force of a hurricane
No quebrantan nuestro sueño
They don't break our dream
El grito de un volcán y la fuerza de un huracán
The scream of a volcano, and the force of a hurricane
No quebrantan nuestro sueño
They don't break our dream
El grito
The scream
El grito
The scream
Y el grito
And the scream
El grito
The scream
El grito de un volcán y la fuerza de un huracán
The scream of a volcano and the force of a hurricane
No quebrantan nuestro sueño
They do not shatter our dream
El grito de un volcán y la fuerza de un huracán
The scream of a volcano and the force of a hurricane
No quebrantan nuestro sueño
They do not shatter our dream
Y el grito
And the scream
El grito
The scream
Y el grito
And the shout
Y el grito
And the shout
Nos amaremos en el suelo
We will love each other on the ground
¿Y qué?
And so what?
