You Didn't Want to Tell Me

You didn't want to tell me
What clouds your mind
Or have you not gotten used to living this moment?
I know your son is in prison,
I know I am out of work,
I know we have become like the ones at the bottom again.

You didn't want to tell me
The reason for your distress, oh, oh, oh,
The reason for your distress.
Think that we have been living
Three years without humiliating ourselves,
Three years in which we learned what being human is like.
Do you remember that our children used to go out in the summers
To build irrigation ditches or roads with their hands?
Think that we have been living
Three years without humiliating ourselves, oh, oh, oh,
Three years without humiliating ourselves.
You have to learn to see life as it comes,
You will see that the wind will lose its smell of death.
There's no need to get too bitter
Just because luck is bad,
We have to fight to the end like our comrade Allende.
You have to learn to see life as it comes, oh, oh, oh,
Life as it comes.
Stop lamenting, come sit by my side,
Nothing will be fixed by living in the past.
Now our mission is for everyone to see clearly
That this band of murderers has their days numbered.
Stop lamenting, come sit by my side, oh, oh, oh,
Come sit by my side.
