Solta El Pañuelo Verde

Let Go of the Green Handkerchief

Solta El Pañuelo Verde

Let go of the green handkerchiefSoltá el pañuelo verde
Don't talk to me about hopeNo me hables de esperanza
If you're brewing your own revengeSi estas gestando tu propia venganza
Against your own wombContra tu vientre
Drying up your own sourceSecando tu propia fuente
This isn't revolutionEsto no es revolución
This is deathEsto es la muerte

Woman, wake upMujer, despertá
And shout, all your truthY gritá, toda tu verdad
Woman, forgiveMujer, perdoná
And embrace, uuhY abrazá, uuh

Let go of the green handkerchiefSoltá el pañuelo verde
That's not freedomEso no es libertad
It's a maximum security prisonEs una carcel de máxima inseguridad
The guilt that will stay with youLa culpabilidad que te quedará
When you kill your own raceAl matar tu propia raza

The new church that's out of controlLa nueva iglesia que descontrol
The machinery of death is religionLa maquinaria de la muerte es la religión
If there are those responsible, they need to stand upSi responsables hay se tienen que plantar
Kneeling down asking for forgivenessArrodillarse pidiendo perdón

It's gonna fall, yeah, it's gonna fallSe va caer, sí, se va caer
The religious system will fallSistema religioso va caer
And the light of truth will stand tallY quedará en pie la luz de la verdad
This isn't a color, it's a cross and it's freedomEsto no es un color, es cruz y es libertad

It's not sky blueNo es celeste
FreedomLa libertad
I don't lean towards a colorYo no tiro pa' un color
My homeland is celestialMi patria es celestial
So many flags existTantas banderas hay
That manage to divideQue logran separar
Divisions don't bring peaceLas divisiones no traen la paz

Boom boom rakataBoom boom rakata
I've dropped the bomb, let it be clearYa tire la bomba que quede claro
This message is nothing personalEste mensaje no es nada personal
I love you, womanYo te amo mujer
I want to see you wellTe quiero ver bien
Fighting with convictionLuchando con convicción

This isn't a clandestine messageEsto no es un mensaje clandestino
This is a message with a destinationEsto es un mensaje con destino
Clandestine or not clandestineClandestino o no clandestino
I'm not in favor of deathYo no estoy a favor de la muerte

Woman, wake upMujer, despertá
And shout, all your truthY gritá, toda tu verdad
Woman, forgiveMujer, perdoná
Your freedom is hereTu libertad está

Woman, wake upMujer, despertá
And shout, all your truthY gritá, toda tu verdad
Woman, forgiveMujer, perdoná
Your freedom is hereTu libertad está
