El Embudo

Come my son, today I have to talk to you
On such an everyday topic
That neither you nor your brothers
Have you stopped to think?
And it's just out of habit

For being born here
For coming from a root
Long-time outcast
And contemplating in silence
What happens in the country

Maybe I never meditate
That you with those two hands
Attend distant payments
Giving it light and heat
Which also moves the engine

That the sky walks and the sea walks
City highways
And communications
Without knowing why
Nothing comes and everything goes

Look at that pipe
It is the famous oil pipeline
Where the fruits go
As they say in bulk
It will be difficult for you to understand

Because this oil of ours
They industrialize it so far away
And the byproduct after
He returns to his land again
God knows why you drive

Our gas is piped
In high pressure pipes
That have heating
To warm up other payments
Don't be surprised

If I tell you that in the gas
There are many more little things
With varied properties
That enrich other places
And the people here become poorer

And the national parks
They look like foreigners
Because we are strangers there
The natives and locals
And in its colossal forests

It happens that sometimes
They become embers
The logs that no one removes
And they walk around with cow dung
In the ranches the stoves

And those towers in a row
Holding the cables
They take away from our rivers
The best of energy
It's not my idea

I don't even want to embarrass him
But think about it
What would happen if they gave us
For everything they take
Just the right amount and nothing more

We are still a colony
From the hen above
Federalism, lies
Since I can remember
There history is invented

Here it is written in blood
More come from time to time
On the eve of elections
To promise solutions
Let them not fool anyone anymore

Let's not talk about heavy water
Royalties, minerals
Nothing comes, everything goes
Squeezing the milking
The issue is studied

To leave us in mourning
Using any conduit
They are taken to the ground
If our sweat were of any use
There would already be some sweat pipeline
