Bajo La Misma Luna

Calle 13 Calle 13

Under the Same Moon

[Intro (No music)]
How far I am from the ground where I was born
Immense nostalgia invades my thoughts,
And seeing myself so alone and sad like a leaf in the wind
I would like to cry... I would like to die of sentiment

(Off-voice)
Hey Don Cheto
A presentation from Don Cheto with Calle 13

I have your antidote
(For those without identity)
We are identical
(For those who arrived without warning)
I have your antidote
For those who are no longer here,
For those who are here,
And those who are coming

A nomad without direction,
I crush negative energy.
With my lamb's hooves,
I set out to travel the entire continent.
Without a compass, without time, without an agenda,
Inspired by the legend.

For stories packaged in cans,
For the tales that the moon tells,
I learned to walk without a map,
To go on a hike.

Without comforts, without luxuries,
Protected by saints and witches.
I learned to write sh** in my notebook,
And with the same language shake the whole planet.

I learned that my people still pray,
because the f*** authorities and the f*** royalty, (Oh the king!)
still move under the table,
I learned to swallow depression with beer.

I spit on my boss from the mountains,
and with my own saliva poison his champagne.

They bury us standing...
poison his champagne.

I have your antidote
(For those without identity)
We are identical
(For those who arrived without warning)
I have your antidote
For those who are no longer here,
For those who are here,
And those who are coming

I have your antidote
(For those without identity)
We are identical
(For those who arrived without warning)
I have your antidote
For those who are no longer here,
For those who are here,
And those who are coming

With a goal... I set the pot and without a suitcase,
I crossed the pond swimming like an athlete,
so that my country puts me to compete in an Olympiad
put me in swimming... guaranteed medal.

Just with what I had on, I came as a wetback,
like an illegal chicken I crossed to this side,
I dodged immigration, I took the chance,
without money or food but very hopeful.

And it's because nothing has changed in my country,
the rich got richer and the poor are still screwed,
that's why we come as illegals,
enduring insults and animal-like treatment.

Do you think I wanted to leave my people?
Do you think I wanted to be an absent son?
look, resident:
My people also pray,
so that the country stops going upside down.

The authority lost credibility,
corruption doesn't end and impunity continues.

The life of an illegal is living in hell,
but I came to the north because of the government.

For all immigrants around the world (for everyone):
We walk under the same moon...
with the same shoes (that's why we're here).

I went to apply for my VISA and they told me:
Bring bank accounts, houses, properties, and a secure job.
I said:
Hey, if I had all that, why would I go north? I better stay here.
