La Memoria
La Asombrosa Excursión De Zamba
The Memory
The story that unfolded
Taught us something
That it’s really important to remember
Like taking a cab without fear
Just a way to play
Memory gives us an identity
Connects us to history
And to our community
Forgetfulness and destruction
Don’t belong in this song
Let no one deny the pain
Human rights
Must be respected
Living without hate is so much better
Memory ties everything together
And defends in our language
Speaking well and peacefully
Everything, everything gets resolved
That’s what the dove says
We need to tell what happened
And pay attention
Remembering is a way to honor
No distinctions made
Between Race, Ethnicity, or Religion
With love, life is so much better!
Memory is a voice
So no one denies history
Let’s defend it!
With justice and dignity
Let’s honor those who are gone
So this never happens again
Remember and study to make a change!
And not repeat what caused us so much harm!
Everything present will someday be memory
So let’s start changing it now
Everything present will someday be memory
So let’s start changing it now
So let’s start changing it now!
