Ni chicha ni limoná
Victor Jara
Neither fish nor fowl
Come closer over here
where the sun warms,
if you're already used
to doing somersaults
and no harm will come
to be where things get tough.
You're nothing
neither fish nor fowl
you keep messing around
damn, you're messing with your dignity.
The party has already started
and things are heating up
you, who were the most reserved
want to take over the dance
totally, the little noses
won't miss any scent.
If we want more party
first we have to work
and we'll have for everyone
warmth, bread, and friendship
and if you don't agree
it's up to you alone
things move forward
and don't plan to back down.
Stop messing around
come to fix your wrong
if here under the poncho
I have no dagger
and if you keep whining
we'll expropriate
the guns and the tongue
and everything else.
