Cinco Siglos Igual
Mercedes Sosa
Five Centuries the Same
Solitude over ruins
Blood in the wheat
Red and yellow
Spring of poison
Shields, wounds
Five centuries the same
Heartbreak, disagreement
Forgiveness and forgetfulness
Body with mineral
Working towns
Poor childhoods
Five centuries the same
In this part of the land
History fell
Like stones fall
Even those that touch the sky
Or are close to the sun
Or are close to the sun
Loyalty over graves
Sacred stone
God didn't manage to cry
Long dream of the sea
Children of no one
Five centuries the same
Death against life
Glory of a disappeared people
It's beginning, it's end
Lost legend
Five centuries the same
In this part of the land
History fell
Like stones fall
Even those that touch the sky
Or are close to the sun
Or are close to the sun
It's darkness with flowers
Revolutions
And even though many are not here
Nobody ever thought
Of kissing your feet
Five centuries the same
