Que Dirá El Santo Padre

Violeta Parra Violeta Parra

What Will the Holy Father Say

Look at how they talk to us about freedom
When they actually take it away from us
Look at how they preach tranquility
When authority torments us

What will the Holy Father say?
Who lives in Rome
While they’re slaughtering
His dove

Look at how they talk about paradise
When bullets rain down like hail
Look at the enthusiasm for the sentence
Knowing they were killing innocence

What will the Holy Father say?
Who lives in Rome
While they’re slaughtering
His dove

He who officiates death like an executioner
Calmly enjoying his breakfast
He’ll reap the wheat, for what’s been sown
Watered with your blood, Júlian Grimao

What will the Holy Father say?
Who lives in Rome
While they’re slaughtering
His dove

The more injustices, Mr. Prosecutor
The stronger my soul gets, to sing
With this, they’ve put the noose around their necks
The sixth commandment has no seal

What will the Holy Father say?
Who lives in Rome
While they’re slaughtering
His dove
