Dientes de León (feat. La Pegatina)

When your mind is silent, your courage is silent too
I never saw you, scoundrel, share this battle, kick the fence
It will make that wall fall
I have something animalistic, something that roars and explodes

I am born in an unknown country
The one who lives below, the one looking for work
I am the mountains of this damn landfill
The second hand pointing to the sky

Maybe it's late, maybe it's early
That this crazy dance stops
My Savannah keeps the footprints of a singing people

I am the dandelion teeth, sleeping with one eye open
African dancer, like the desert wind
I am the drum skins, the suckers of those bodies
African dancer, African feeling

I remember and paint a jungle, paint the rivers
Paint the drought of my people
I paint our warmth
Against your cold world
Great lakes, two oceans, and new challenges

I paint the Cape of Good Hope
A human continent, a stolen diamond
I remember the horn, an island, and an oasis
The sunlight and here this gray sky
The past of the slave, the origin of the human
The colonial wound can never be closed

I paint child soldiers, a black graduate
And the cane of that elder who never knew peace
And my nomads are an unstoppable hurricane
No, no, my land never rests
My Savannah keeps the footprints of a singing people

I am the dandelion teeth, sleeping with one eye open
African dancer, like the desert wind
I am the drum skins, the suckers of those bodies
African dancer, African feeling
