Se invita a toda la comunidad

A participar todos de la gran minga
Let's all participate in the great minga
Con el fin de romper las vendas de nuestros ojos
In order to break the blindfolds from our eyes
Lugar, Parque del Ejido
Place, Ejido Park
Desde las seis de la mañana. No falten
Since six in the morning. Don't miss
Despliega tu mente, desangra la llaga
Unfold your mind, bleed the wound
Anda fiel combatiente de la montaña
Go faithful fighter of the mountain
Herida por el fuego loco, desquiciante
Wounded by crazy fire, maddening
Poderoso, perdido, pedante, podrido
Powerful, lost, pedantic, rotten
De gente como vos grandísimo cabrón
From people like you, you big bastard
Ensucias los ríos, los llenas de mierda
You dirty the rivers, you fill them with shit
Y te cagas la vida jodiendo a la tierra
And you shit your life screwing the earth
Sacando petróleo, corriendo al hermano
Drilling oil, running away to brother
Quien cuida, quien ara, quien saca la papa
Who cares, who plows, who takes out the potatoes
Y el hombre muy tranquilo y caminado va
And the very calm and walked man goes
Sin pensar tan siquiera lo que le iba a pasar
Without even thinking what was going to happen to him
No ha calculado, no ha imaginado
He has not calculated, he has not imagined
Que en su propio barrio
That in your own neighborhood
Su vida iba a acabar
His life was going to end
Y sin pensar el va, muy loco demente
And without thinking he goes, very crazy crazy
Con su mente inconsciente
With your unconscious mind
Con su mente inconsciente!
With your unconscious mind!
Y con cuentos cacorros dizque de progreso
And with silly stories supposedly of progress
Se inventan mil guerras, destruyen la tierra
A thousand wars are invented, they destroy the earth
Matando animales, infectando el aire
Killing animals, infecting the air
Encuartelas mi brotha para que desangre
Frame them my brotha so that I bleed
Desplazando hermanos, nos matas de hambre
By displacing brothers, you starve us
Y nos das contentillo con un buen partido
And you make us happy with a good game
Mientras un vecino secuestra a tu marido
While a neighbor kidnaps your husband
Y se inventan mil dioses para distraerse
And a thousand gods are invented to distract themselves
Y ven a las santas hasta en una taza
And they see the saints even in a cup
Y ver a esa virgen nos cuesta dinero
And seeing that virgin costs us money
A los pobres creyentes de este vil mierdero
To the poor believers of this vile shit
De este vil mierdero
Of this vile shit
Pase pa que pase: ¿qué?
Whatever happens: what?
Chorro pa que baje: ¿qué?
Jet to get it down: what?
Porro pa que entienda y que mi nota comprenda ¿qué?
Porro so that he understands and that my grade understands what?
Lo que traigo aquí, yo aquí
What I bring here, I here
Es acción es el ritmo callejero que te lo canto con emoción
It's action, it's the street rhythm that I sing to you with emotion
¿para quién? para ti
for whom? for you
Para la gente de mente abierta
For open minded people
Que disfruta mi canción
Enjoy my song
A veces buenas, a veces malas
Sometimes good, sometimes bad
Subida y bajón, pero siempre un hi plon
Up and down, but always a hi plon
Que va rodando, bambarabanda va contagiando
It's rolling, bambarabanda is infecting
Y yo vengo es cantando
And I come is singing
Y es mi mundo sigo mi rumbo
And it's my world I follow my course
!despliega tu mente¡
!unfold your mind!
!hermano del alma¡
soul brother
!la lucha esta firme¡
The fight is firm!
!por esta tu mama¡
for this your mom!
Y no comas cuento a ningún dirigente
And don't talk to any leader
Conserva tu vida conserva tu mente
Keep your life, keep your mind
Que nadie te mate, que nadie te calle
Let no one kill you, let no one shut you up
El grito es la vida, el baile celebra
The scream is life, the dance celebrates
La fuerza desborda que calle el canalla
The force overflows to silence the scoundrel
Y tu vos sea la piedra que rompa la venda
And yours be the stone that breaks the bandage
Y es mi mundo sigo mi rumbo
And it's my world I follow my course
Y no lo olviden, A cuidar nuestros maizales
And don't forget, to take care of our cornfields
