Prohibido Olvidar

They prohibited going to school and going to university
They prohibited guarantees and constitutional end
They prohibited all sciences, except the military
Prohibiting the right to complain, they prohibited asking
Today I suggest to you, my brother, so it doesn't happen again
Forbidden to forget!

Forbidden to forget!
Prohibited to expect answers. Will prohibited
Discussions prohibited. Reality prohibited
Free press prohibited and prohibited to opine
They prohibited intelligence with a special decree
If you don't use your head, someone else will use it for you
Forbidden to forget!

Forbidden to forget!
Right to strike prohibited and salary increase
Prohibited to go to the street and criticize the state
Prohibited to laugh at the joke of their sad governance
Prohibited the development of national future
I believe the only way to end this is:
Forbidden to forget!

Forbidden to forget!
Prohibited comments without official approval
Prohibited to rebel against mediocrity
Prohibited elections and popular hope
And prohibited consciousness by prohibiting thinking
If you believe in your flag and believe in freedom:
Forbidden to forget!

Forbidden to forget!
Poor is the country where evil controls
Where the civilian falls in love with corruption
Poor is the country alienated by drugs
Because a mind that loosens, loses reason
Poor is the country that, with violence, believes
It can kill the idea of its liberation
Poor is the country that sees justice shattered
By the will of the rich or by military order
Every nation depends on the heart of its people
And a country that doesn't sell itself, no one can buy!
Don't forget!

Don't forget!
