A Los Tambores

To the Drums

A Los Tambores

On the skin of the drum, the blood echoes, (echoes)Sobre el pellejo del bombo la sangre retumba,(retumba)
the crowd dances, wrapped in their tribal rage ...baila la hinchada enroscada en su furia tribal ...
How many days have passed?¿Cuántos días van?
How many years have gone by?¿Cuántos años van?
How many kids are there ...?¿Cuántos hijos van ...?.

And the peopleY la gente
who keep dreaming the things that others believedque sigue soñando las cosas que otros creían
Live singing slogans that used to mean something ...Viven cantando consignas que antes valían ...
Not anymore, not anymore, they don't mean anything nowYa no, ya no valen más
What? They mean, they mean, they mean so much more ... more ... more ...¿Qué no? Valen, valen, valen mucho más ...mas...mas....

Disfigured facesCaras desfiguradas
only seen around here.solo se ven por acá.
From the delirium that growsPor el delirio que crece
the carnival is coming for us.se nos viene el carnaval.
I don't want it to endYo no quiero que termine
the thrill of living.el agite de vivir.
Always on this rideSiempre subido a este viaje
free as a bird for me ...piedra libre para mi ...

I am this wayYo soy así
and I take responsibilityy me hago cargo
nothing and no onenada ni nadie
can change me ...me puede cambiar ...

I am this wayYo soy así
and I take responsibilityy me hago cargo
