Bagua No Se Olvida

Bagua Never Forgotten

Bagua No Se Olvida

Bright the Sun that woke me up this morningBrillante el Sol que me despertó esta mañana
Quickly I go out, help to work the landRápido salgo, ayudo a trabajar la tierra
Everything is strange, the birds are fleeingTodo es extraño, las aves están huyendo
As if they were warning of somethingComo si de algo estuviesen avisando

Foreign suits come marking the paceForáneos trajes vienen marcando el paso
And their gaze is anything but friendlyY su mirada no tiene nada de amiga
In their eyes they carry hatred and advancing IEn su mirada cargan odio y avanzando yo
I hear sounds that I never heard in my lifeOigo sonidos que yo nunca oí en mi vida

My father plays the manguaré and is warning thatMi padre toca el manguaré y está advirtiendo que
Those gentlemen are not coming to ask usEsos señores no vienen a preguntarnos
One of them is pointing something at me andUno de ellos con algo me está apuntando y
My father runs to stand by my sideMi padre corre a ponerse al lado mío

It's a kind of a strange deviceEs una especie de un artefacto medio extraño
And I don't think that will do much harmY yo no creo que eso haga mucho daño
I hear noise suddenly I look at the groundEscucho ruido de repente miro a suelo
And I realize that my father is asleepY me doy cuenta que mi padre está dormido

And he's not the only one on the ground resting IY no es el único en el suelo descansando yo
Several from the village I also see asleepVarios del pueblo también logro ver dormidos
Those gentlemen keep advancing and advancingEsos señores siguen siguen avanzando y
Some of them also fell asleepUnos de ellos también quedaron dormidos
Quickly I run. I go to warn at homeRápido corro. Voy para avisar a casa

That dad sleeps in a curve and doesn't wake upQue papá en curva duerme y no se despierta
I can't find mom but I find my sisterNo encuentro a mama pero encuentro a mi hermana
Crying she said that my mother is deadLlorando dijo que mi madre está muerta
And I don't understand anythingY yo no entiendo nada

As she was alive a while ago and now deadComo hace rato estaba viva y ahora muerta
My sister cries but at the same time explains to meMi hermana llora pero a la vez me explica
Among sounds, cries, dead and indifferenceEntre sonidos, llantos, muertos e indiferencia
That the sounds from a while ago were bulletsQue los sonidos de hace rato eran balas
And the men in suits are policeY los señores de traje son policías

What they were carrying in their hands were weaponsLo que llevaban en sus manos eran armas
And the deaths are orders from Alan GarcíaY las muertes son órdenes de Alan García
And the bullets that came out of those weaponsY que las balas que salieron de esas armas
Is an order given by Alan GarcíaEs una orden dada por Alan García
And it's for money that blood is shedY es por dinero que la sangre se derrama
And it's shed by order of Alan GarcíaY se derrama por orden de Alan García

I am the voice of the indigenous of natives and nativesSoy la voz del aborigen de nativos y nativas
My memory does not expire and Bagua is not forgottenMi memoria no caduca y Bagua no se olvida
The blood is shed your speeches don't fix itLa sangre está derramada no lo arreglan tus discursos
Four hundred thousand bodies defending resourcesCuatrocientos mil cuerpos defendiendo los recursos
Natural minerals from transnational abusesMinerales naturales de abusos trasnacionales

With channels that do not inform, misinform citiesCon canales que no informan, malinforman a ciudades
That do not understand that do not know that they steal from us in torrentsQue no entienden que no saben que nos roban a raudales
And there is no shame or condemnation for judicial favorsY No hay pena ni condena por favores judiciales
Deplorable statutes of filthDeplorables estatutos de inmundicia

And the garbage education only sectorizes usY la educación basura tan solo nos sectoriza
I don't get tired of writing in favor of somethingNo me canso en escribir en pro de algo
Much more if that something is to fight alongside my brothersMucho más si ese algo es luchar junto a mis hermanos
Resisting, fighting there is hopeResistiendo, combatiendo hay esperanza
In the face of so much indifferenceAnte tanta indiferencia

That the sounds from a while ago were bulletsQue los sonidos de hace rato eran balas
And the men in suits are policeY los señores de traje son policías
What they were carrying in their hands were weaponsLo que llevaban en sus manos eran armas
And the deaths are orders from Alan GarcíaY las muertes son órdenes de Alan García
And the bullets that came out of those weaponsY que las balas que salieron de esas armas
Is an order given by Alan GarcíaEs una orden dada por Alan García

And it's for money that blood is shedY es por dinero que la sangre se derrama
And it's shed by order of Alan GarcíaY se derrama por orden de Alan García
That the sounds from a while ago were bulletsQue los sonidos de hace rato eran balas
And the men in suits are policeY los señores de traje son policías

The Sun sets the day is already darkening IEl Sol se oculta el día ya está oscureciendo yo
Quickly I run to lift the deadRápido corro a levantar los muertos
Everything is clear, the birds are returningTodo está claro, las aves están volviendo
There are a thousand reasons to keep fightingHay mil motivos por los que seguir luchando
To keep fightingPor los que seguir luchando
