Quiero Que Me Entiendan, Quiero Que Me Escuchen
Ali Primera
I Want You to Understand Me, I Want You to Listen to Me
I want you to understand me
I want you to listen to me
That my song doesn’t fade away
I hope you fight for me
There are those who write
With ink about the war
But don’t forget
That the land is sown
With soldiers who die
And write with blood
And in Biafra, the black kids
Are dying of hunger
For the one who exploits
Every drop of sweat is a dime
For the one who exploits
A man is just an animal
And just like an ox
They make him work
And just like an ox
They want to kill him
I want you to understand me
I want you to listen to me
That my song doesn’t fade away
I hope you fight for me
In life, there’s always someone to fight for
The barefoot kids
Who are dying of hunger
We must fight to build
A new society
I want you to understand me
I want you to listen to me
That my song doesn’t fade away
I hope you fight for me
I hope you fight for me
I hope you fight for me, I hope you fight for me
