Missing Persons

(Roldan)
His mother asks what happened
He went to see his girlfriend after ten o'clock
I woke up feeling shots, my son didn't come home last night

(Yotuel)
Mother, don't ask what happened, I know
There won't be any witnesses, they'll forget me
The same story continues, day by day, blood flowing
Dead from AIDS, the world war is cloned

(Roldan)
Seventeen springs, he was going to college
He never looked for trouble
Someone say where he is

(Yotuel)
I missed you and you weren't there, God
Prayers were few, crazy screams, plans, dreams
Smelled like lead and blood to others, family like us

CHORUS (2X)

(Roldan)
He went to the corner, who saw him, my friend disappeared
He didn't even leave a shadow

(RUZZO)
The guilty one knows what I'm talking about

(Roldan)
Last night I heard several explosions
boo, boom, bang, pow, bang

(RUZZO)
And that's very normal, baby
Consciousness nowadays is upside down
People don't know where the hell they're stepping
And besides, for criminals it's a good feast
And even if they leave through the roof with the words
I've said, from words to actions there's a long way
And I continue, in the name of my dead friend, who they know
how it went, they detained him, arrested him, kidnapped him
They took off his clothes, shot him, burned the evidence
The same thing happened to my ten-year-old neighbor, whose organs
they didn't find, hey, what a fatigue, they burned them, tortured them, yo!

CHORUS (2X)

(Roldan)
Another one of the fallen, another thorn, another pain
Another mother without a son, a tree that didn't bear fruit
Seventeen springs, he was going to college
He never looked for trouble, someone say where he is

(RUZZO)
To the murdering presidents, to those responsible for missing persons
For those who traffic with children, the guilty one knows what I'm talking about!
I, I, I know that my cannon of words lacked scoundrels
To bring down in this battle, but history will take care
of cutting their claws, sons of murderers!

(Yotuel)
Missing, you see what I've lived, without a trace
To put flowers on my grave
They have left my mother
Whoever kills a father, doesn't know they're taking a soul
Independence!

CHORUS (3X)

(Roldan)
He went to the corner, who saw him
My friend disappeared, didn't even leave a shadow
