Carta Al Presidente

We are just carnival performers
Humble artists
On this stage

Workers who watch
Listen and give opinions
Like everywhere else

And that's why this time
We want to tell you
With respect
What we will expect
From someone who has the luck
To be a ruler

We know it's not easy
Mr. President
Your new task
But be careful
When you climb up
The lights dazzle

And for your management
The song will begin
With a simple request

Don't abuse your position
And don't favor
Those from your party

Don't return favors
Don't keep the change
Don't act smart

That the workers
Will be your concern
We take it for granted
And we want to ask you
That minorities
Don't lose their rights

And understand, sir
We won't have a nation
No matter what you achieve
If the rich are educated
But the poorest
Are not educated

Let me see a doctor
Every time I'm sick
Don't make it a torture
That when walking down the street
People on foot
Don't feel unsafe

More with repression
You have to be careful
I don't know if I'm clear
I already fear thieves
I don't want to fear
Also a soldier

I already fear thieves
I don't want to fear
Also a soldier

That research
And science are not
A forgotten issue
The future is vital
And don't forget
What has happened

We will demand
For those who are no longer here
And there is no news

We will keep singing
Asking the State
For truth and justice

We will keep singing
Asking the State
For truth and justice

The story is quite simple
The carnival and the people
We will remember

We will be alert
To what is promised
And if you lie to us

Know from now on
La Bastarda will be
On the opposite side of the street
We greet you without further ado
Thank you for listening
Mr. President
