Bloques Rojos
Ignorantes
Red Blocks
Endless rides on buses that get lost in endless territories
In neighborhoods of Santiago, the games in the parks squeak rusty
Innocent kids see blood on the knives
On the outskirts of the industry, out in the margins, illiteracy
Crime, misery in the red blocks
You feel the helplessness, police raids
Police raids, stabbings, gunshots
Disgusting red blocks, bars and concrete
Despair, filth, frustration, overcrowding
On the corners, the gargoyles don’t look kindly at visitors
The slot machines in the stores play depressing tunes all day
Sad urban landscape, hell on the outskirts
Depressing screams from the evangelicals, base paste, cumbia
Teen pregnancy, arrest warrants, pending charges
Disgusting red blocks, bars and concrete
Despair, filth, frustration, overcrowding
