Ave Caída - Alberto Cortez

Dime ave caída, dime ave caída

Quien detuvo tu vuelo

Cuando blanca llevabas

En el pico una rama, en el azul del cielo

Dime ave caída, dime ave caída

Quien detuvo tu vuelo

Fuiste tú y tus hermanos, vestidos de soldado

Que no quieren que vuele, y me vieron volando

Fuiste tú y tus hermanos, con un arma y un casco

Fuiste tú y tus hermanos, los que me han derribado

Dime prado sin flores, dime prado sin flores

Que ha pasado en tu suelo

Que no tiene colores, mariposas ni amores

Y que todo se ha muerto

Dime prado sin flores, dime prado sin flores

Que ha pasado en tu suelo

Fuiste tú y tus hermanos, vestidos de soldado

Que pisaron las flores, y metralla sembraron

Fuiste tú y tus hermanos, con un arma y un casco

Que no quieren más flores, y las han derribado

Dime niño que juegas

Dime niño que juegas, quien te dio los juguetes

Esas balas de goma

Esa falsa pistola, el fusil y los cohetes

Dime niño que juegas

Dime niño que juegas, quien te dio los juguetes

Fuiste tú y mis hermanos, vestidos de paisanos

Que con estos juguetes, me llenaron las manos

Fuiste tú y mis hermanos, quienes me los han dado

Que por ser de juguete, dicen que no hacen daño

Dime ave caída, dime ave caída

Quien detuvo tu vuelo

Cuando blanca llevabas

En el pico una rama, en el azul del cielo

Dime ave caída, dime ave caída

Quien detuvo tu vuelo

Tell me fallen bird, tell me fallen bird

who stopped your flight

when you wore white

At the peak a branch, in the blue of the sky

Tell me fallen bird, tell me fallen bird

who stopped your flight

It was you and your brothers, dressed as soldiers

They don't want me to fly, and they saw me flying

It was you and your brothers, with a gun and a helmet

It was you and your brothers that brought me down

Tell me meadow without flowers, tell me meadow without flowers

What has happened in your soil

That has no colors, butterflies or love

And that everything has died

Tell me meadow without flowers, tell me meadow without flowers

What has happened in your soil

It was you and your brothers, dressed as soldiers

That they stepped on the flowers, and they sowed shrapnel

It was you and your brothers, with a gun and a helmet

They don't want any more flowers, and they've been knocked down

tell me child you play

Tell me child you play, who gave you the toys

those rubber bullets

That fake gun, the rifle and the rockets

tell me child you play

Tell me child you play, who gave you the toys

It was you and my brothers, dressed as civilians

That with these toys, they filled my hands

It was you and my brothers who gave them to me

That because it is a toy, they say that they do not hurt

Tell me fallen bird, tell me fallen bird

who stopped your flight

when you wore white

At the peak a branch, in the blue of the sky

Tell me fallen bird, tell me fallen bird

who stopped your flight
