Cinco Siglos Igual
León Gieco
Five Centuries the Same
Solitude over ruins, blood in the wheat
Red and yellow, spring of poison
Shield wounds, five centuries the same
Freedom without gallop, broken flags
Arrogance and lies, gold and silver medals
Against hope, five centuries the same
In this part of the earth, history fell
Like stones fall, even those that touch the sky
Or are close to the sun, or are close to the sun
Lovelessness, disagreement, forgiveness and forgetfulness
Body with mineral, working peoples
Poor childhoods, five centuries the same
Loyalty over graves, sacred stone
God didn't manage to cry, long dream of evil
Children of no one, five centuries the same
Death against life, glory of a people
Disappeared is beginning, is end
Lost legend, five centuries the same
In this part of the earth, history fell
Like stones fall, even those that touch the sky
Or are close to the sun, or are close to the sun
It's darkness with flowers, revolutions
And although many are not here, no one ever thought
To kiss your feet, five centuries the same
