Las Mujeres de Juárez

Humiliating and abusive
The untouchable impunity
The bones in the desert
Show the harsh truth
The dead women of Ciudad Juárez
Are a national shame

Working women
In the factories
Diligent and efficient
Unmatched labor
What the companies export
Isn't checked by customs

Shameful comments
Are heard all over the world
The answer is pretty simple
Juárez knows the truth
Have we lost our manhood?
Or are we still lacking dignity?

Women are a blessing and the miracle of faith
The source of creation
Gave birth to the czar and the king
And even Jesus Christ was born of a woman
It's time, citizens
To fulfill our duty
If the law doesn't resolve it
We must resolve it
By punishing the cowards who violate women

Crying, lamenting, and praying
Are heard in that place
Of the anguished mothers
Who plead for mercy from heaven
To return their remains
So they can be buried

The great police of the world
Also wanted to help us
But the Aztec laws
Refused to accept
Maybe it wasn't convenient for them
To let this be clarified

That there are several thousand dead
In clandestine graves
Many missing
That I refuse to believe
It's the people's demand
That the law investigates

It's the people's demand
That the law investigates
