Que Dira el Santo Padre - Violeta Parra

Miren como nos hablan de libertad

Cuando de alla nos privan en realidad

Miren como pregonan tranquilidad

Cuando nos atormenta la autoridad

Que dira el santo padre

Que vive en roma

Que le estan degollando

A sus palomas

Miren como nos hablan del paraiso

Cuando nos llueven penas como granizo

Miren el entusiasmo con la sentencia

Sabiando que mataban a la inocencia

Que dira el santo padre

Que vive en Roma

Que le estan degollando

A sus palomas

El que oficia la muerte como un verdugo

Tranquilo esta tomando su desayuno

Con esto se pusieron la soga al cuello

El quinto mandamiento no tiene sello

Que dira el santo padre

Que vive en Roma

Que le estan degollando

A sus paloma

Entre más injusticia, señor Fiscal

Más fuerza tiene mi alma para cantar

Lindo se dara el trigo en el sembrao

Regao con tu sangre Julian Grimau

Que dira el santo padre

Que vive en roma

Look how they talk to us about freedom

When they actually deprive us of that

Look how they proclaim tranquility

When we are tormented by authority

What will the holy father say?

who lives in rome

that they are beheading him

to his pigeons

Look how they talk to us about paradise

When sorrows rain down on us like hail

Look at the enthusiasm with the sentence

Knowing that they killed innocence

What will the holy father say?

who lives in Rome

that they are beheading him

to his pigeons

He who officiates death like an executioner

Calm down, he's having his breakfast

With this they put the rope around their necks

The fifth commandment has no seal

What will the holy father say?

who lives in Rome

that they are beheading him

to his dove

The more injustice, Mr. Prosecutor

My soul has more strength to sing

Cute will be the wheat in the sowing

I water with your blood Julian Grimau

What will the holy father say?

who lives in rome
