We ran like wolves by the river's edgeCorríem com llops a la vora del riu
Dirty faces, lively gesturesLa cara bruta, el gest viu
Field through, ravines with skateboardsCamp a través, barrancs amb patinet
Thistles and puddles and torn pantsArgelagues i bassals i els pantalons desfets
Only guests at communionsA comunions, només de convidats
We sneaked into the church once to snoop aroundA l'esglèsia vam entrar una volta a escuadrinyar
Son, where are you going? Where have you ended up?Fill meu, on vas? On has anat a parar?
I took a bad tumbleMala bascollà em vaig emportar

For all of them: eternal lovePa' a totes elles: amor perpetu
10 mothers, 17 siblings, we are the tribe10 mares, 17 germans, som la tribu
Raising children collectivelyCriant en collectivitat

And the matriarchy, alive but hiddenI el matriarcat, viu però amagat
That comes out of the housesQue isca de les cases
And permeates the whole societyI impregne tota la societat
Undoing the markDesfent-nos de la marca
Of the power of the white manDel poder de l'home blanc
Of the sword and the cross and the Christ on the wallDe l'espasa i de la creu i del crist a la paret
Opening our eyes to the world, laughing and blasphemingObrir els ulls al món, riure i blasfemar
There's no one up there willing to helpNo hi ha ningú allà dalt disposat a ajudar
Sharing tools, we do it togetherCompartint eines, ho fem juntes
Watering the seeds of common ideasRegant les llavors de les idees comunes

We ran like wolves through the streets and the ravineCorríem com llops pel carrer i el barranc
From the police station to the train station, through neighborhoods or marshesDel poli a la renfe, per barri o marjals
It didn't matter, the older brother's clothesTant donava, la roba del germà major
The cousin's bike from the village and sandwiches for everyoneLa bici del cosí del poble i l'entrepà pa' tots
First cross, then look, disciplinePrimer creuar, després mirar, disciplina
Imagination and slang, street medicineImaginació i argot, street medicina
Syringes, huts, fire in the wastelandXeringues, cabanyes, foc al descampat

Grandma and Aunt Sole cooking for 30La 'uela i la Sole cuinant per a 30
And there was always a little plateI siempre hubo un platico
For whoever walked through the doorPa' el que entrara por la puerta
No gels or suits at the partyNi gomines ni tratges al cumple
No baptisms or liturgies or templesNi bateig ni litúrgies ni temples

Full of shit and mud, from asphalt streetsPlens de merda i de fang, de carrers d'asfalt
Because empty spaces with gifts never fill upPerquè els buits amb regals mai no s'omplin
Voluptuousness, effervescenceLa voluptuositat, l'efervescència
The unfathomable mysteries of adolescenceEls misteris insondables de l'adolescència
We fled from the present, from the future, and with the lawFugíem del present, del futur, i amb la llei
Military sense and strategy, heySentit militar i estrategia, ei
Discussions on the park benchDiscussions en el banc del parc
