Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sacar La Voz by Ana Tijoux from Spanish to English.

Breathe to let the voice out

Take off as far as a swift eagle

Breathing takes on a future splendor

More meaning if we create it together

Free yourself from all shame, grab the

Reins, don't give in to the oppressor

Walk upright without fear, breathe and raise your voice

I have empty pockets, split lips

Scaly skin every time I look into the void

Worn-out soles, hands tied

The front door always had the sign

That said it was closed

A thorn stuck, an infected wound among

Beloved, a rage overflowing in the everything and in the nothing

The clumsy step at the edge, without chord, each time

That I lose my north I lose my support

Time that stabs locks me, the dagger kills me

Sharp, the flame restless, slips out of my hands

But I have my blooming corner

Letting out my voice I'm not alone, I'm with myself

Free yourself from all shame

Take the reins, don't surrender to the oppressor

Walk upright without fear, breathe and raise your voice

I have love forgotten, tired, worn out

Worn out, to the floor they fell

All the fragments that were broken

The bent stare, the clenched fist

I have nothing but nothing adds up in this puddle

Marked jaw, prepared word

Each sharpened letter is on the crest of the wave

Without sorrow or glory, writing this story

The point's not falling, getting up is the victory

Coming back, opening the door, it's settled, stay alert

Bring out the voice that was dead and turn it into an orchestra

Walk steady, free, without fear, breathe and raise your voice

Free yourself from all shame, take the reins, don't surrender to the oppressor

Walk upright without fear, breathe and raise your voice

On a line to hang the couplet that the wind rocks

That seldom deserves each sorrow, loose voice, every cough

Thinking about letting the voice out

SONG MEANING

Sacar la Voz (Raise Your Voice) is a sonic call to action where Ana Tijoux and Jorge Drexler urge us to inhale courage and exhale truth. Through vivid images of worn-out shoes, empty pockets, and scarred skin, they paint the reality of struggle; yet every breath becomes an act of rebellion. The chorus invites us to stand tall, free ourselves from shame, grab the reins, and refuse the rule of any oppressor. It is both personal and collective: I am not alone; I am with myself quickly becomes we can build a brighter future together.

The verses move from raw vulnerability to fierce determination. Each setback—cuts, thorns, broken fragments—tests the spirit, but the song insists that victory lies in rising after every fall. Hope blooms in a “rincón florido,” a small flowering corner inside us all, reminding listeners that even when everything seems cracked, voices can join to form an unstoppable orchestra. In short, Sacar la Voz celebrates resilience, solidarity, and the power of speaking up, transforming pain into an anthem of liberation and self-belief.
