¿500 Años De Que?
Hugo Gimenez Agúero
500 Years Of What?
I don't celebrate death
Even if death happens
I don't commemorate the blood
Of my ancestors at all
For more than 500 years
My war doesn't end
For more than 500 years
My war doesn't end
My war doesn't end
I have a headband on my forehead
A waist full of thoughts
And silence doesn't penetrate me
No matter how much I want to think about it
Only a few of us remain
Because those from outside rule
Only a few of us remain
Because those from outside rule
Because those from outside rule
500 years of what?, of what?, of what?
500 years of what?
Even if they have the land
I'm still standing
And not just anyone can kill me
500 years of what?, of what?, of what?
I am the root of my grandparents
Descendant of the stone
Sunbeam in the east
Spring guanaco
Like the mighty river
I don't plan to turn back
Like the mighty river
I don't plan to turn back
I don't plan to turn back
The memory is so dark
And the conscience so certain
Where does this people come from
Who celebrate a genocide?
Like the snow up there
My complaint doesn't melt
Like the snow up there
My complaint doesn't melt
My complaint doesn't melt
500 years of what?, of what?, of what?
500 years of what? Even if they have the land
I'm still standing
And not just anyone can kill me
500 years of what?, of what?, of what?
