TIEMBLA

I live in a place that wakes up
Under the same Sun
Among millions of hearts
That beat strongly
And make the earth shake
People who are tired
Of crisis, misery, and urban warfare

People who work
And plan to work
And think they work
Hard and without reward
Without reward

I live among people who have
Patience and hope
Who know that good things
Come but usually

Take the longest
Those people want to get rid of
Ignorance
Corruption and laziness

Which are the worst advisors (blocking the door)
And those same people
Want the earth to shake
And those same people want

The earth to shake
So that the unemployed fall (blocking the door)
So that those vampires leave
And new paths open
The earth shakes (oh oh oh)

I'm not leaving here
Until it bursts
I'm not leaving here
Until it bursts

I have an African ancestor
I have a Latin American brother
I have a cousin they call Indian
And he doesn't understand racism

He just asks to be left alone in the meantime
The north keeps looking down
And the south sees itself more
And is swelling
