Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sangre americana by Bacilos from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Yo, tengo sangre americana
Me, I have American blood
De una américa que estaba antes del nombre
From an America that was before the name
De patria, de banderas
Homeland, flags
Cruzes y mentiras
Crosses and lies
Tengo rasgos de una realidad
I have traits of a reality
Que no sale ni en telenovelas
That doesn't even come out on soap operas
Ni se ve en publicidad
You don't even see it in advertising
Yo tengo sangre americana
I have American blood
De la que más se derrama para escribir
The one that spills the most to write
La historia americana
American history
Como el viejo chief seatle
Like the old chief seatle
Como todos los soldados razos
Like all right soldiers
Que se mueren viendo morir
Who die watching them die
Esto no va a pasar
This isn't going to happen
Esto no va a cambiar
This isn't going to change
Esto no va a dejar de ser una comedia
This isn't going to stop being a comedy
La comedia del que no se quiere
The comedy you don't want
Esto no va a pasar
This isn't going to happen
Esto no va a cambiar
This isn't going to change
Porque no hay un disparo que pueda borrar la historia
Because there's no shot that can erase the story
Que nos corre por las venas
That runs through our veins
Que nos corre por las venas
That runs through our veins
Yo me doy cuenta cuando entro
I can tell when I walk in
A algún club de sociedad o tienda fina
To some society club or fine store
O en la fila de una discoteca
Or in the line of a nightclub
De que yo tengo sangre americana
That I have American blood
Como el puma como el cóndor
Like the cougar like the condor
Como el águlia
Like the agulia
Del gran escudo
From the Great Shield
Sé que no debo decirlo
I know I shouldn't say it
Pero debo decirlo
But I have to say it
Al menos decirlo
At least say it
Subsiste, respira mi sangre americana
Subsist, breathe my American blood
Esto no va a pasar
This isn't going to happen
Esto no va a cambiar
This isn't going to change
Esto no va a dejar de ser una tragedia
This is not going to stop being a tragedy
La tragedia del que no se quiere
The tragedy you don't want
Esto no va a pasar
This isn't going to happen
Esto no va a sanar
This isn't going to heal
Porque no hay un disparo que pueda borrar la historia
Because there's no shot that can erase the story
Que nos corre por las venas
That runs through our veins
Que nos corre por las venas
That runs through our veins
Nanana nana nana
Nanana nana nana
Sé que no debo decirlo
I know I shouldn't say it
Al menos decirte mi sangre americana
At least tell you my American blood
Esto no va a pasar
This isn't going to happen
Esto no va a sanar
This isn't going to heal
