Cual Es Mi Delito
Orlando Belis
What's My Crime
Today the reality, of our great country
Causes so many things that everyone wants to leave
No one cares anymore to fight for a future
If destiny holds a very dark future for us
And our hopes are fading away
And corruption grows every day
What can we expect from a popular action, from the front
Or from national unity, from an independent front
A united left, a hetnocacerista who is maybe a terrorist
It's our misfortune that we have to endure
Endure all of them without a way out
Look, brothers, this is how our country is
Condemned for many centuries, many centuries to suffer
Many centuries to suffer, many centuries to suffer
A few days ago I wanted to leave the country, to seek a better future
A better tomorrow through a friend, a fellow countryman
I gave him all my savings for the visa to leave
Many days have passed, I have never seen him again
He ran away with my money and I have nothing to eat
Now I only have to leave as an illegal
I prefer to risk my life than to endure
The current government, which is the worst, and the many to come
Of worse condition, of worse condition
Of worse condition
Today I am here in another country, looking for a job
Whatever comes my way, but everyone looks at me
Everyone avoids me, even the police are watching me
They have me surrounded, they want to shoot me
I don't know my crime, they want to arrest me
Mr. police, I didn't do anything! I'm Peruvian! And I arrived in the morning
Where are they taking me, stop hitting me
What's my crime? Why are you locking me up
Please listen, I want to see the light, someone tell me
What's my cross?
And I heard the voice of a policeman
He's Peruvian and don't let him escape!
Check his things well, search his belly
Maybe you'll find drugs in bags or pills
Look, brothers, how they marginalize us
And they deported me that same day
Gentlemen of the government who only think of yourselves
Who don't care about children or women
Look at our image, how damaged it is
To other countries, we are the plague
Thanks to the vultures, hawks, and buzzards
Who tear apart our morals into pieces
Tear apart into pieces, tear apart into pieces
One day excited, I sat down to watch our Peruvian soccer
That made me vomit, poor fans who have to endure
Defeat after defeat, unable to fix it
They don't realize the reality
If they don't change everyone, we will never win
This rot will finish us
This shitty group will never end
They think they're stars, they think they're Maradona
They haven't beaten anyone and the fans still forgive them
And all they care about is posing for TV, appearing in a scandal
In tabloids, that's what they want and they don't care
About the few followers waiting for a miracle
That one day one of them will be champions and they don't give a chance
To talented kids, I know that one day with them
Our future will change, our future will change, our future will change
Today I am singing this song
Trying to tell you the reason
Why I am ashamed of my country
No one wants us because we're from here, everything is rotten
There's no way out, today we only have to fight for our lives
They kill our feelings, they kill nationalism
Today patriotism is just a thing of the past
What's happening, where are we heading
And if there's anyone honest left to come and solve!
And don't let our feelings die
Of being a good Peruvian without resentments
We must not allow ourselves to be destroyed like this
Let's do the impossible to put an end
To this delinquency, to this corruption
To this cannibalism that horrifies us
To all this shit that dirties and stinks
Let's ruin their party, sons of bitches
Let's go out, we have to show
That we're not cowards, they won't fool us
Let's hit the streets, we have to protest
And in front of the whole world
