La manta verde

1st
One was born in the marsh and the other in Afghanistan
One has a pair of oxen, a cart for a cradle, and the other a green blanket to pray to the moon
And let the bombs shut up, let the world leave us in peace, what the hell does it matter to anyone if I keep Ramadan or if you sing the Salve
CHORUS
EVEN IF YOUR FATHER AND MINE HATE EACH OTHER
WE WILL PRAY, YOU TO ALLAH AND I TO THE VIRGIN OF EL ROCIO, EVEN IF THEY CALL ME CRAZY, LET US LIVE PEACEFULLY

2nd
One asks the kings for toys for both
A cap for the road, the Saxons, and the other many friends at recess
Friend, why is it that if the whole earth is the same, who could care if I was born in the marsh and you in Afghanistan
CHORUS

3rd
One loads a camel, the other asks Allah to take him to Mecca, and for his friend he asks, and for his friend he asks, and the Rociero a horse to pray to the Virgin, I have seen them paint on a ball a sphere, you see the earth and sea and you don't see a border for peace to exist
CHORUS

4th
And they don't understand colors, race, or evil, the one born Rociero dreams of jumping the fence, dreams of jumping the fence, the other of a steel wall of a world that doesn't give in, what friendship does seems unbelievable without knowing each other at all, one was born in the marsh and the other in Afghanistan
CHORUS
