Para La Vida
León Gieco
For Life
I am here sitting under the little sun that saw us as eagle and also sparrow. What to do with the silence when the head explodes how to stop the helplessness of not being able to do anything. Why want to kill your children
It's so the blood hurts for years
Yesterday for not loving the homeland
And now for loving it too much.
Old laws, more genocidal
Bad omen for life.
With light full of shadows and with the sun
In suffering
I returned home on my knees and here
My dead friends.
In a sick country, all cards on the table
We play perverse games between soccer and war.
Blood of glory, hatred against love
Gods and beasts, madness and pain
I will open the doors of this emptiness
Because destiny threw me up.
Old laws, more genocidal
Bad omen for life.
I will insist with a sea of roses
And I will build on ashes.
I will have a new dream in my hands
And I will fight for it to be justice.
My children's cheeks on my lips
And I found in their eyes a new rest.
Old laws, more genocidal
Bad omen for life.
Old laws, more genocidal
Bad omen for life.
