Miren Cómo Sonríen

Violeta Parra Violeta Parra

Look How They Smile

Look how they smile
The presidents
When they make promises
To the innocent

Look how they offer
To the union
This world and the other
The candidates

Look how they double down
On oaths
But after the vote
Double torment

Look at the swarm
Of vigilantes
To shower the student
With flowers

Look how the police shine
To offer prizes
To the workers

Look how they dress up
Corporal and sergeant
To dye the pavements
Red

Look how they desecrate
The sacristies
With skins and hats
Of hypocrisy

Look how they whiten
The month of Mary
And darken the poor
The daylight

Look how they show him
A shotgun
To take from the poor
His bread roll

Look how the officials powder
To count the leaves
Of the calendar

Look how the secretaries manage
The friendly pages
Of each newspaper

Look how they smile
Angelical
Look how they forget
That they are mortal
