La Muerte No Va Conmigo
Inti-Illimani
Death Doesn't Go with Me
Death doesn't go with me
Life is on fire whole,
I delight in bleeding the shadow
of the butcher.
Death doesn't go with me
I lost her from my cell,
She doesn't cut tail or ear,
She doesn't stay awake.
When the hand resorts
to this supreme argument
the path clouds,
elements shipwreck,
contrary winds blow
and considerations sink.
Today it is thought that instead of plowing,
of loving and flying,
of opening and singing
it is better to kill.
Death doesn't go with me
I erase her from my cover,
I lower her from my star,
I diminish her with my cape,
I insult her with my hat
and I slaughter her on my map.
The future belongs to life,
peoples love life,
the dead don't,
death doesn't,
the dead don't.
Death doesn't go with me
Life is on fire whole,
I delight in bleeding the shadow
of the butcher.
Death doesn't go with me
I lost her from my cell,
She doesn't cut tail or ear,
She doesn't stay awake.
Death doesn't go with me
and whoever disrespects
I kill with these hands,
I kill and finish
