Cuando Sales de Tu Casa
Quilapayún
When You Leave Your House
When you leave your house with your four generals
When you get into your car, when you drive through the streets.
The looks of the people, they change and ignite
They get angry, they toughen up, the looks of the people,
And in the chests of the people, the words get stirred up
No one shouts, no one speaks, everyone just stays silent.
The looks of the widows, of the unemployed youth
Of the parents without their children, of the children without their parents.
Everyone watches as those four generals pass by
Everyone stays silent, no one shouts, no one speaks.
That man who looks at you, used to teach at a school
That young woman who looks at you, used to work as a nurse.
Everyone looks and in their eyes there's a fiery fist
There's a cry and a memory and a hidden army.
