Mi Dignidad

You can take away my will to live
And from my soul, the harvest that I’ve sown
From my days, the courage and the future
From my nights, even the dreams that I’ve known

You can steal my freedom with just a simple gesture
The hope with which I built myself up over time
You can take away the hours and the clock
And you can break my heart with a single shot

But not my dignity
But not my dignity
But not my dignity, hey
No-no-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no
No-no-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no

And you can kill me even while I’m alive
And you could cut my wings and the strings that bind
And if this puppet comes back to life
Still, you could take away my joy

But not my dignity
But not my dignity
But not my dignity, hey
No-no-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no
No-no-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no

And you could, and you could sink me without warning
And you could, and you could hurt me just for fun
And you could because those who can, sometimes, have evil inside
The money, the voice, my people, and the wine too, you could take from me

But not my dignity
But not my dignity
But not my dignity (my dignity)
No-no-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no
No-no-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no

Oh, eh
Oh, no, oh, but not my dignity
Oh, no, oh, no, but not my dignity
Oh, no, no, but not my dignity
Eh, eh, oh, but no, no, no, oh, no
But not my dignity!
