Escúcheme señor
listen to me sir
Yo hace tiempo que busco el camino
I have been looking for the way for a long time
Dije 'pelear por el mundo', pero me equivoqué
I said 'fight for the world' but I was wrong
Escúcheme señor
listen to me sir
Hay mucha gente que piensa lo mismo
There are many people who think the same
Pensé que yo era distinto, pero me equivoqué
I thought I was different, but I was wrong
Dicen son solo palabras
They say are just words
Porque no salen en televisión
Why aren't they on TV?
Banderas rojas y blancas
red and white flags
Saludan juntas del mismo balcón
They greet each other from the same balcony
Escuchan al señor
listen to the lord
Al que les clava el puñal por la espalda
To the one who sticks the dagger in the back
Sin moverse de su casa, le dimos el poder
Without moving from his house, we gave him the power
Le piden al señor
they ask the lord
Que cambie de la noche a la mañana
That changes overnight
Si hasta al padre de la patria, tuvieron que correr
If even the father of the country, they had to run
Dicen son solo palabras
They say are just words
Porque no salen en televisión
Why aren't they on TV?
Banderas rojas y blancas
red and white flags
Saludan juntas del mismo balcón
They greet each other from the same balcony
Están viviendo
They are living
Unos tan precariamente
Some so precariously
Mientras que otros se divierten
while others have fun
Mirándolos caer
watching them fall
Y le piden al señor
And they ask the Lord
Que cambie de la noche a la mañana
That changes overnight
Si hasta al padre de la patria
Yes, even the father of the country
Tuvieron que correr
they had to run
