Famiglia cristiana, solo un'ora a settimana
Christian family, only one hour a week
Signori e generali nella casa del signore
Lords and generals in the house of the lord
Sul banco del prete lasciano i loro peccati
On the priest's bench they leave their sins
Torture e sangue non si lavano coi voti
Torture and blood do not wash with vows
Padrone cattolico quanti soldi dà
Catholic master how much money he gives
Fuori dalla sua chiesa fa la carità
Outside his church he gives charity
Hai cinque chilometri per tornare giù
You have five kilometers to get back down
Cercano in plaza de mayo qualcuno che non torna più
They look in plaza de mayo for someone who never comes back
Famiglia cristiana, figli appesi alla sottana
Christian family, children hanging on the skirt
Di giorno, di notte, mani, palle e schiene rotte
By day, by night, hands, balls and broken backs
Lavora una vita, apre il palmo e non c'è niente
Work a life, open the palm and there's nothing
Estrema unzione ai risparmi di una nazione
Extreme unction to a nation's savings
Ancora tre fiori rossi spuntano in un bar
Still three red flowers sprout in a bar
I nipoti di videla se danno da fa
Videla's grandchildren get busy
Buon risveglio argentina, la democrazia
Good morning argentina, democracy
Dei grassi ladri di stato protetti dalla polizia
Of fat state thieves protected by the police
È finita l'acqua santa la macchia non và via
Gone is the holy water the stain won't go away
Continuate pure a raschià
Keep on scraping
A raschià
To scrape
A raschià
To scrape
