Blood Wedding

Bodas de Sangre

Don't talk to me about the law...No me hables de ley...
Don't talk to meno me hables
Don't talk to me about your aspirations...No me hables de tus aspiraciones...
Don't talk to meNo me hables

Don't threaten me with your constitutionNo me amenaces con tu constitución
There are no printed limits for freedomNo hay límites impresos para la libertad
Don't tell me you've been a good manNo me digas que has sido buen hombre
There's no one innocent in this fierce worldNo hay nadie inocente en este mundo feroz

Don't talk to meNo me hables
It's me who's going to speakQue soy yo el que va a hablar

We've been hammering in the city for 40 yearsLlevamos 40 años martillando en la ciudad
Facing a thousand obstacles to surviveEnfrentando mil obstáculos para sobrevivir
All this time you haven't been able to understand usEn todo este tiempo no has podido entendernos
You've pushed us aside or shot usNos has hecho a un lado o nos has fusilado
You've killed so many, so many, so many 'crazies'Has matado tantos, tantos, tantos "locos"
So many have fallen that I couldn't count themHan caído tantos que no he podido contarlos

You excuse yourself with others for not raising us as geniusesTe excusas con los otros por no habernos criado genios
You shoot us, push us, and try to hide usDisparas nos empujas y tratas de escondernos
You always assure me that you don't harm anyoneSiempre me seguras que a nadie le haces mal
That if you die one day, they'll canonize youQue si algún día mueres te canonizarán
You spend all day praying to your godTe pasas todo el día orándole a tu dios
Thanking him for the blows receivedAgradeciéndole por los golpes recibidos

The fight continues...La lucha sigue en pie...
No, we won't surrenderNo no, nos rendiremos
Let's enjoy together...Disfrutemos juntos...
These blood weddingsEstas bodas de sangre
Standing before the city...De pie ante la ciudad...
And even in our gravesY aún en nuestras tumbas
With a shout of encouragement...Con un grito de aliento...
To death we'll sayA la parca le diremos
Blood weddings...Bodas de sangre...
