Bandera

Flag
Waving non-stop
Witness of pain
As if wanting to speak
Twice as red
For one of white
Twice the blood
For one of peace
Flag!
We never listen

We had many dictators
Twice the traitors
Few liberators
Twice as red
For one of white
Twice the blood
For one of peace
Flag!
We never listen
I wish to wake up
Laugh dancing by the sea
And connect
With your spirits

The homeland is not the anthem
Sung in a stadium
Nor that Peruvian cumbia
They play for you
On the radio
Because that's how it is
That's how it is
They paint your face
They put the mask on afterwards
Because that's how it is
That's how it is

The homeland is not a pisco
Nor a plate of food
It's that wound
It's every life
It's that story everyone forgets
Every disappeared woman
And that flag
Up there
That reminds me
And that flag
Up there
That reminds me
That there are many more dead than saints

Twice as red
For one of white
Twice the blood
For one of peace
Flag!!!!
We never listen
