Soul Mother
They want to lock you up in your town
with keys of darkness
they want you to build machines
to kill butterflies
and prevent them from flying
carrying the light
So many times they have exchanged
your blue beret
for the absurd helmets
of a feudal order
The bourgeois lady
wants you to dress at night
and play backgammon
with your back to the town
but, as long as inside your womb
two boys go
hand in hand
you will breathe freedom
because you are an open book
in love with your town
an open book
where the struggle is read
that Eutimio Rivas started
Soul Mother
they want to kill you
with arrows of darkness (repeat)
It depends on us
that a dark silence
covers your books
It depends on us
that children die
in wombs without birth
but we will save you
despite your enemies
those from outside and those from within
but you will be saved
Soul Mother
they want to kill you
with arrows of darkness (repeat)
