La Isla de La Buena Memoria
Alejandro Lerner
The Island of Good Memory
Mother, I'm going to the island
I don't know who to fight against
Maybe I'll fight or resist
Or maybe I'll die there
I think it's very cold around here
There are more fears like mine in the city
What will I do with the uniform
When I start to fight
With the helmet and the boots?
I don't even know how to march!
There is no evil that does not come to man
There is no God to pray to
There are no brothers or soldiers
There are no longer judges or juries
There is only one more war
Since I arrived on the island
I have no one to talk to
We are thousands united
By the same loneliness
I think it's very cold around here
There are more fears like mine in the city
Gunshots are already heard
Between death and freedom
My body falls riddled
I won't be able to sing anymore
It was too cold around here
There are more fears like mine in the city
There is no evil that does not come to man
There is no God to pray to
There are no brothers or soldiers
There are no longer judges or juries
There is only one more war
And there is less peace every time
And there is less peace every time
And there is less peace every time
And there is less peace every time
And there is less peace every time
