Song of the Mutilated

Cancion del Mutilado

Moon you as you seeLuna tù como vez
I don't have feetNo tengo pies
Well, a judge cut them offPues me los corto un juez
Moon of my brothersLuna de mis hermanos
I do not have handsNo tengo manos
The worms ate themMe las carcomieron los gusanos
Moon I don't have a tongueLuna no tengo lengua
I don't even have a mouthNi tengo boca
They covered it with towMe la taparon con estopa
Moon I don't have gutsLuna no tengo tripas
I don't even have a bellyNi tengo vientre
They closed it for me foreverMe lo clausuraron para siempre

And they call me a thousand names to stop meY me dicen mil nombres para detenerme
Because I don't think the same as all the peoplePorque no pienso igual que toda la gente
Who watches television and I don't even watch it as a jokeQue ve televisa y yo ni de broma veo
Soap operas sparrowhawk or doveTelenovelas gavilán o paloma

And they call me cholo, pacheco, pastY me dicen cholo, pacheco, pasado
Hippie, punk, shaved, shavedHippie, punketo, mechudo, rapado
Earrings samplerMuestrario de aretes
Arrumbado pachuco, solid rebelPachuco arrumbado, rebelde macizo
traumatized speakerOrador traumado
Lousy musician, frustrated poetMusico piojoso, poeta frustrado
Second and third hand painterPintor de segunda y tercera mano
Skato, sandino, rocker, lying downSkato, sandino, rockero, tumbado
Marquista, guevaro, tattooed rojilloMarquista, guevaro, rojillo tatuado
Crazy, crazy, crazy and crazyLoco, orate, avionado y demente
And all for thinking differentlyY todo por pensar diferente

But I have underwearPero tengo calzones
But I have passionPero tengo pasiòn
I have faith, pantsTengo fe, pantalones
And one or another songY una que otra canción
I want a changeYo quiero un cambio
and a revolutionY una revoluciòn

And even though I don't have feetY aunque no tenga pies
Neither hands nor mouthNi manos, ni boca
I have a guitarTengo una guitarra
What does it touch and what does it touchQue toca y que toca
the same songLa misma canciòn

What does he say long live the revolution?Que dice viva, viva la revoluciòn
What does he say long live the revolution?Que dice viva, viva la revoluciòn
What does he say long live the revolution?Que dice viva, viva la revoluciòn

And even though I don't have feetY aunque no tenga pies
Neither hands nor mouthNi manos, ni boca
I have a guitarTengo una guitarra
What does it touch and what does it touchQue toca y que toca
the same songLa misma canciòn

What does he say long live the revolution?Que dice viva, viva la revoluciòn
What does he say long live the revolution?Que dice viva, viva la revoluciòn
What does he say long live the revolution?Que dice viva, viva la revoluciòn
