Yo No Quiero Ser Un Ciudadano
Facundo Cabral
I Don't Want to Be a Citizen
Forgive me sir but sometimes I get tired
sometimes I get tired of being a citizen
the city tires me, the offices
tires me the family and the economy
The family, my lord, that via crucis of relatives
that misery in cooperative
mother is only one, sir
and she just happened to touch me
Forgive me sir, I'm tired of this hell
this mediocre market where everyone has a price
forgive me sir, but I will go with you
for your mountains, your tides and your rivers
Forgive me sir, but sometimes I think
that you have something better for me
forgive me sir, I don't want to be a citizen
I want to be a man as you have created me
forgive me sir
