Sin pedir perdón
Ángel Parra
Without asking for forgiveness
(Based on a previous theme composed by Osvaldo Torres with lyrics by Miguel Hernández to which Ángel Parra put another text.)
I am not afraid of death,
I fear irrationality
and in the face of violence
I commend myself to God.
The coward does not recognize
the crime he committed
and in his insolence
I commend him to God.
I return and sing,
I live and want,
I wake up with the sun
that tells me:
"Today, brother,
don't forget what happened."
No, no, no,
I don't forget!
To a life of exile
the witch condemned me,
and here I am again
without asking for forgiveness.
No evil lasts a hundred years,
my heart tells me
and here I am again
without asking for forgiveness.
