No He de Callarme
Carlos Ramón Fernandez
I Won't Be Silent
Don’t let the kids in my dreams be quiet
They want to sing about their roots
Cultural roots of their people, 'cause it’s the essence of their
Motherland.
About the cultural roots of their people, 'cause it’s the essence of
Their motherland.
Don’t let yourselves be invaded by foreigners,
They’re false idols of vice, easy to sway
More than they actually sing
It even seems like they’re about to break
They sway much more than they sing, it
Even seems like they’re about to break.
I know some get annoyed by my song
And maybe they want me to shut up
When they’re up there and in the things
Only then will I be quiet for my people
When they’re up there and in the things
Only then will I be quiet for my people...
Don’t be ashamed of grandpa’s clothes
Baggy pants, big scarf, and the black belt
He wore to see the invasion
Of the foreigner, and the black belt he wore to
See the invasion of the foreigner.
Please ask what it means:
The spur, the drag, and the hat that’s not just
A costume for Independence Day to wear at the
School party
That’s not just a costume for Independence Day
To wear at the school party.
I know some get annoyed by my song and maybe
They want me to shut up
When I’m up there and in the things
Only then will I be quiet for my people
When I’m up there and in the things
Only then will I be quiet for my people........
