On Strike

If the crowd doesn't think
I'll go against the flow
Express what is thought
Sharp with what people comment
Kwelin says the most important moment is the present
They say arrogant, what I call consistent
Two words
Two concepts
Different
Only the truth
And humility
Will make the new and old school a university
Only the truth will eliminate the bullshit
Will make one voice sound like thousands
Tell the epicenter, to the people of Chile

I claim, I argue and now pay attention
More than a minute, for a critic who speaks with reason
At this moment the important thing is... The foundation
The interesting lyrics, my voice the... Great instrument
String
Remember
Different way
I contemplate the universe
Annihilating borders

You and I protest together
Against the landowner
And the one who claimed to be master
Class struggle
Inequalities
Listen to immoral fascists
We are equal

Because when a gringo comes we shake his hand
But when a Peruvian, our brother, comes
We reject him, send him back, humiliate him
I remember that in our country there are no slaves
That's why we protest with fists raised
Don't ask us to be silent, we've just begun
We will show them that they haven't fulfilled their promises
The mouth, that they have always looked at us as something small
Or insignificant, blah, blah, blah shhh ah pure BS!!

I know a character who distributed the surveys
And says he has an answer for each one
Doubt, doubt, du du du da da, it gives me when I ask you this question
You had never mentioned your cousin's death before
Because it could get you in big trouble, good move
He has taken it out for your political campaign, talking about rights

Humans, who believes you?
Who buys you?
Who sells you?
Who adores you?
Military, rich, who fill their pockets
They killed people, but they won't kill the idea
Of creating a Lyrical Front direct to the fight

CHORUS
I protest! I declare
Against the public forces that live off abuse
I protest! I declare
Return the Mapuche land of Ralco
I protest! I declare
Freedom for political prisoners at this moment
I protest! I declare
Against the deceivers who dirty the movement

Enough of having to entertain me, you have to listen to me
You don't have to worship me, or laugh at me, you have to understand me
The message we deliver doesn't appear in any fashion magazine
Because here in the jungle the animal is a person
Our search will be trouble for many
We don't hide under institutions
Of cartridges
We fight
We do
Everything we want, we are revolutionary, we are young!!

In the end, each crazy person with their own issue
Some write the story with blood
And others with poems
My motto me, me
You, you
Me, me the united people will not be defeated
No, no
Peace
Reconciliation, where have you seen it
If everything was violence and violation

Behind bars
You leave
The one who should be free
I want to talk about hunger
And not about a big caliber
Free above all
No more blows from uniforms
With your artillery my armory doesn't hide
A minute of silence for all the fallen
Villa Grimaldi, disappeared detainees

A country without memory is a country without history
The scum is free
And they talk to us about glory
We used to have a common enemy
Currently disguised as Grandpa Plum

But who is hiding behind?
Krashnov is hiding
But who is hiding behind?
Contreras is hiding
But who is hiding behind?
Father Hasbun is hiding
But behind us, no one is hiding

CHORUS
I protest! I declare
Against the public forces that live off abuse
I protest! I declare
Return the Mapuche land of Ralco
I protest! I declare
Freedom for political prisoners at this moment
I protest! I declare
Against the deceivers who dirty the movement
I protest, declare, declare and protest

If the crowd doesn't think
I'll go against the flow, I'll go against the flow
Against the flow, against the flow
