Mi Hermana

My Sister

Mi Hermana

My sisterA mi hermana
They have her locked upLa tienen presa
In a cageEn una jaula
She can't moveNo se puede mover
She never goes outsideNunca sale al patio
They keep her stillLa tienen quieta
She shits where she sleepsCaga donde duerme
She can only eatSólo puede comer

My sisterA mi hermana
She's been rapedLa han violado
By her guardsSus carceleros
She couldn't stop itNo lo pudo evitar
She's already given birthYa ha parido
And they've stolen her babyY le han robado a su bebé
And they've raped her againY la han vuelto a violar

Neither my sister nor I understandNi mi hermana ni yo entendemos
What she didLo que ha hecho ella
To be treated like thisPara que la traten así
Why they treat her like thisPara que la tratan así

My sisterA mi hermana
When she's given birthCuando ya ha parido
They hook her up to a suction machineLe enchufan una máquina de absorber
And steal all the milkY le roban toda la leche
That she made for her baby.Que ha fabricado para su bebé.

My sisterA mi hermana
They never let her interact with the othersJamás le dejan relacionarse con las demás
She's alone and getting oldEstá sola y se hace vieja
And she doesn't know happinessY no conoce la felicidad

My sisterA mi hermana
Since she doesn't moveComo no se mueve
She gets sickSe pone enferma
And suffers badlyY lo pasa fatal
And instead of treating her like she deservesY en vez de tratarla como se merece
They inject her with drugs to make her gain weightLe inyectan drogas para hacerla engordar

My sisterA mi hermana
Has no joysNo tiene alegrías
Or any motivationNi ningún aliciente
To keep livingQue le impulse a vivir
Every hour is longCada hora es larga
And at the end of the dayY al final del día
She thinks she'd rather die than thisPiensa que para esto prefiere morir

My sisterA mi hermana
And her neighborsY a sus vecinas
They take them awaySe las llevan presas
In a truck packed tightEn un camión hacinadas
Scared to deathMuertas de miedo
Their destruction is unstoppableYa es imparable su destrucción

My sisterA mi hermana
They've dismembered herLa han descuartizado
And they show me herY me la enseñan
Through a glassTras un cristal
And now tell me I'm intolerantY ahora dime que soy intolerante
And that I don't respect your personal choiceY que no respeto tu opción personal
But if you can say that to mePero si puedes decirme eso
It's because you're aliveEs porque estás vivo
Not like my sisterNo como mi hermana
Not like my sister...No como mi hermana…
I won't eat my sister.No me como a mi hermana.
