El Fin De La Infancia

The End of Childhood

El Fin De La Infancia

If they want to conquer us,Si nos quieren conquistar,
they will have to burn us alive.tendran que quemarnos vivos.
If they want to see us dance,Si nos quieren ver bailar,
to the rhythm of five centuries.a ritmo de cinco siglos.
When singing this song, I have something to tell you,Al cantar esta cancion tengo algo que contarles,
that from now on I want to be the owner of my dance steps.que desde ahora quiero ser dueño de mis pasos de baile.

And dancing horsey with the little coffee band, how will they not achieve it?Y bailando caballito con la banda cafecitos, como no lo va a lograr ?
And dancing horsey with the little coffee band, how will they not respect it?Y bailando caballito con la banda cafecitos, como no lo van a respetar ?

I'm not going to kill myself,Yo no me voy a matar,
for other people's convictions,por convicciones ajenas,
and if someone died,y si acaso alguien murio,
that confirms the rule,eso confirma la regla,
that all these trends,de que todas estas tendencias,
never lead us anywhere,nunca nos llevan a nada,
from now on,de ahora en adelante,
send them back home.mandalas para su casa.

And dancing horsey with the little coffee band, how will they not achieve it?Y bailando caballito con la banda cafecitos, como no lo va a lograr ?
And dancing horsey with the little coffee band, how will they not respect it?Y bailando caballito con la banda cafecitos, como no lo van a respetar ?

Will we be able to dance on our own?Seremos capaces de bailar por nuestra cuenta ?
Will we be able to dance?seremos capaces de bailar ?
Enough of interrogating!basta ya de interrogar !

People say that dancing,La gente dice que el baile,
is just a diversion,solo es una diversion,
and foreign artists,y artistas extranjeros,
take the commission,se lleva la comision,
today I will remove the fear,hoy quitare el miedo,
of feeling at the forefront,a sentirme en la vanguardia,
without having to go to New York,sin tener que ir a New York,
to see what's happening there.para ver alla que pasa.

And dancing horsey with the little coffee band, how will they not achieve it?Y bailando caballito con la banda cafecitos, como no lo va a lograr ?
And dancing horsey with the little coffee band, how will they not respect it?Y bailando caballito con la banda cafecitos, como no lo van a respetar ?

Why throw the stone,Para que tirar la piedra,
I'm not free from sin,no estoy libre de pecado,
with all the mestizos,con todos los mestizos,
they also misbehaved me,tambien me maleducaron,
because I'm already grown up,por que ya estoy grandecito,
to decide my life,para decidir mi vida,
five hundred frustrated years,quinientos años frustrados,
I think it's been enough.creo que ya fue gran medida

And dancing horsey with the little coffee band, how will they not achieve it?Y bailando caballito con la banda cafecitos, como no lo va a lograr ?
And dancing horsey with the little coffee band, how will they not respect it?Y bailando caballito con la banda cafecitos, como no lo van a respetar ?

Will we be able to dance on our own?Seremos capaces de bailar por nuestra cuenta ?
Will we be able to dance?seremos capaces de bailar ?
Will we be able to think on our own?Seremos capaces de pensar por nuestra cuenta ?
Will we be able to think?seremos capaces de pensar ?
