Fronteras
La luna va despidiéndose del lago y su mirar
alumbrando a un costado de una huella
Dos perros nos acompañan silencioso caminar
Bueno, ya casi pasó la noche
Vamo’ a tener que cruzar
Solo se escuchan bajito los murmullos al pasar
Dos perros nos acompañan, silencioso caminar
Ojalá no estén malitos los soldados del retén
porque ando con lo justito para comprar pa’ comer
porque ando con lo justito
Frío de frontera, la sirena me acelera,
los trapos me envenenan
vomitando secuelas
¡No importa! Nacimos en la oscuridad
Del otro lado me zambullo
y me pierdo en la ciudad
Desacelero, miro al cielo
y del otro lado de la esquina aparece la “norma”
que te uniforma, que te deforma
te desinforma, te norma-
liza que andes de prisa
De que te tiren para alguna orilla
los del culo con silla armando una muralla
detrás de la pantalla, se escuchan como estalla
¡Estallan! Las estatuas contra el piso
Se acabó el pueblo sumiso
La memoria lo delata y no vamos a bajar la pata
¡Nooo! -
Borders
The moon says goodbye to the lake and its gaze,
illuminating the side of a footprint
Two dogs accompany us on our silent walk.
Well, the night is almost over.
We're going to have to cross.
Only soft rumours can be heard as we pass by.
Two dogs accompany us on our silent walk.
I hope the soldiers at the checkpoint
aren't too bad tonight
because I'm barely carrying enough to buy food
because I'm barely having enough.
The cold of the border, the siren speeds me up,
the rags poison me,
vomiting consequences.
It doesn't matter! We were born in darkness
On the other side, I dive in
and get lost in the city
I slow down, look up at the sky
and on the other side of the corner, the ‘norm’ appears
that uniforms you, that deforms you
misinforms you, normalises you
that you walk quickly
So that those with their arses on chairs can push you to the side building a wall
behind the screen, you can hear them exploding
They explode! The statues against the floor
The submissive people are no more
Memory betrays them, and we're not going to back down
Nooo! - Format
