[00:00:02] To Rafa Nahuel Maxi Flores Singersong writer [Maxi plays the guitar in the forest, children go downhill] [♪] Ignoring being ignored, and with no destiny [♪] He is silent, following the river, [♪] He says there is a way [Maxi plays the guitar and walks in the forest] [♪] Moonless nights, starless nights [♪] A light in my memory, which enlightens even my shadow [♪] Ehhh, ehhhh [A man blows an instrument] [♪] Shots can be heard in the mountain
[00:01:01] [♪] A colourful box keeps souls sleeping [♪] Fear never walks towards you, always wearing different clothes [♪] It does suddenly change, while it is tangled with the dead
[Guitar music, images of the moon] Little blue action figures march, with familiar faces coming from any neighbourhood or from my beloved 'linea sur' who suffered from the wind, the snow, and the droughts not many good people in their herd They are the abused children, who hold onto their dreams But they cannot force you to hit the people who taught you That is not an option It is the trap, It is the lie It is an open door for violence supporting the greed of those who control the system And they slowly push you to the side, and steal your colour,
[00:01:58] and the hopes from your childhood Let's be brave enough to walk with them to avoid a constrained path where those demented who are in charge connect children with crime No child is born as a thief No grandparent steals your present They are the light, they are our memory, They are the happiness, as that rebellious star We'll demolish the social system that leaves people from villages out A system that leaves indigenous people out, and people look down on you They even try to erase your name Rafael Nahuel, you did not die in vain
[00:02:39] All over our land, your brothers rise up [Maxi plays the guitar, images of mountains and the backs of people]
[♪] While on the walls, with aerosols [♪] people shout and paint truths, easing my pain [An image of a grafitti] [♪] Spining dreams, knitting lives - Language
