El Anarquista

The Anarchist

El Anarquista

Everyone already knowsTodo el mundo sabe ya,
That you're an anarchist,Que tú eres un anarquista,
Because that's obviousPorque eso salta a la vista
And there's nothing to clarify.Y no hay nada que aclarar.

What you could doLo que pudiste hacer
You did it all with flying colors,Lo hiciste todo con creces,
That's why now you deservePor eso ahora mereces
That others do it too.Que lo hagan otros tambien.

You're like a songEres como una canción
That travels the whole world,Que va por la tierra entera,
That knows no bordersQue no conoce fronteras
That everyone can hear.Que todos pueden oir

And you have the conditionY tienes la condición
Clean and pure like a childLimpia y pura de un chiquillo
The bravery of a maleLa bravura de un potrillo
Masculine like the sun.Masculino como el sol.

You had to walkTuviste que caminar,
On persecuted paths,Por senderos perseguido,
But with your head held highPero con el cuello erguido
You knew how to face everything.Supiste todo afrontar.

No one saw you hesitate,Nadie te vió vacilar,
At death's door,A las puertas de la muerte,
That dying is a better fateQue morir es mejor suerte
Than having to bow down.Que tenerse que inclinar.

You are guitar and voice,Eres tú guitarra y voz,
You are your poetry and song,Eres tu poesia y canto,
That inspire the mastQue al mástil vas inspirando
The notes of my song.Las notas de mi canción.

That's why I want to sing,Por eso quiero cantar,
Sing to the four winds,Cantar a los cuatro vientos,
That it doesn't matter whenQue no importa en qué momento
In my house you can enter.En mi casa podrá entrar

In my house anyone can enterEn mi casa podrá entrar
Whoever is leftist,Cualquiera que sea izquierdista,
But, if they're an anarchist,Pero, si es un anarquista,
That one can stay.Ese se podrá quedar.
