12 Meses

Gallego

Original text

Mi vieja siempre me decia…

La vida es como un juego…

Los 365 dias del año…

Los 12 meses…

Las 8,760 horas…

De esos 365 dias…

Un juego de la memoria…

A diferencia de los animales de la selva…

Que actuan, trabajan o responden por instincto…

Somos los unicos animales que actuamos por memoria…

Y es que sin memoria, mi hermano…

No se puede vivir…

Anyway…

Cada cual…

Decide como jugar el juego de la vida,…

Cada cual que bregue con su tiempo…

Y con su memoria…

En Enero

Vi a todo el mundo con sus resoluciones

Sus sueños

Con sus promesas de cambio

Vi como una madre divorciada tenia 2 empleos

Para lograr mantener a sus hijos

Y sacarlos aflote

Tambien vi como mi pueblo

Poco a poco

Iba perdiendo la tradicion de los 3 Santos Reyes

En Febrero

Vi como personas celebraban el dia de San Valentin

Y se regalaban flores y chocolates

Cuando durante todo el año

Han sido hipocritas los unos con los otros

En Marzo

Vi como una señora le dispararon 12 veces

Para robarle la guagua

Pero tambien vi

Como un niño de 7 años

Salvaba a su madre de un accidente automobilistico

En Abril

Vi como confinados de una carcel del pais

Se amotinaron por las malas condiciones y el asinamiento

Y tambien vi

Como un ciudadano se desangro frente a un hospital

Por la falta de empleados y equipo

En Mayo

Vi como un padre orgulloso

Porque su hijo se graduaba de 4to año con honores

Habia sido admitido a una universidad en el extranjero

Y en Junio, y Julio

Los meses de verano

Aunque no me crean

Fui a mas funerales

Que a festivales playeros

Y vi madres llorando en las funerarias

Corona, gente derramando

Lagrimas de cocodrilo

La calle esta mala, mi hermano…

En Agosto

Vi como las clases comenzaron

Y vi escuelas que no tenian libros

Vi chamaquitos sin uniforme

Maestros descontentos

Un sistema educativo completamente inservible

Yo, vi miedo

En Septiembre

Vi un hombre que asesino a su esposa

Y se suicido

Dejando a sus hijos huerfanos

Tambien vi a un funcionario del gobierno

Que era encarcelado por cargos de corrupcion

En Octubre

Vi como una familia era desahuciada de su casa

Construida en terrenos del gobierno

Vi como un vecino mio era despedido de su trabajo

Por razones politicas

En Noviembre

Vi como una familia celebraba el dia de Accion de Gracias

Con una opulenta cena

Cuando el dia de dar gracias a Dios

Son todos los dias

Cuando vi deambulantes que no tenian nada que comer

Nada porque celebrar

Y en Diciembre

Cuando algunos estaban celebrando

Vi una madre preocupada porque no tenia dinero

Para comprarle regalos a sus hijos

Y vi otra madre llorando

Porque era la primera navidad sin su hijo asesinado

Y en el fin de año

Mientras los petardos sonaban

Vi a un niño en el suelo desangrandose

Por culpa de una bala perdida

Personas preparandose para comenzar un nuevo año

El mismo cuento

Distintos dias

Este fue un leve resumen de los 12 meses de un año…

De 365 dias…

Y con el pasar de los meses me he dado cuenta…

Que pertenezco a la raza mas violenta del planeta…

Y asi como un tigre no mata a otro tigre…

Nosotros deberiamos tomar el ejemplo…

Y no matarnos los unos a los otros…

Song translation

My old lady always told me...

Life is like a game…

The 365 days of the year…

The 12 months...

The 8,760 hours…

Of those 365 days...

A memory game...

Unlike the animals in the jungle…

That act, work or respond by instinct...

We are the only animals that act by memory...

And it is that without memory, my brother...

You can't live...

De todas formas…

Each one…

Decide how to play the game of life,…

Each one who struggles with his time...

And with her memory of him...

in January

I saw the whole world with their resolutions

Their dreams

With their promises of change

I saw how a divorced mother had 2 jobs

In order to support their children

And get them afloat

I also saw how my people

Slowly

I was losing the tradition of the 3 Holy Kings

In February

I saw how people celebrated Valentine's Day

And they gave each other flowers and chocolates

When throughout the year

They have been hypocritical to each other

In March

I saw how a lady was shot 12 times

To steal the bus

but i also saw

like a 7 year old

He saved his mother from a car accident

In April

I saw as inmates of a prison in the country

They rioted because of the bad conditions and the settlement

And I also saw

How a citizen bled to death in front of a hospital

Due to lack of employees and equipment

In May

I saw as a proud father

Because his son was graduating 4th year with honors

He had been admitted to a university abroad

And in June, and July

the summer months

Even if you don't believe me

I went to more funerals

What to beach festivals

And I saw mothers crying in funeral homes

Corona, people pouring out

crocodile tears

The street is bad, my brother...

In August

I saw how the classes started

And I saw schools that had no books

I saw kids without uniform

disgruntled teachers

A completely useless education system

I saw fear

In September

I saw a man who murdered his wife

and he committed suicide

Leaving their children orphans

I also saw a government official

That he was jailed on corruption charges

In October

I saw how a family was evicted from their home

Built on government land

I saw how a neighbor of mine was fired from his job

For political reasons

In November

I saw how a family celebrated Thanksgiving

with an opulent dinner

When the day to give thanks to God

are every day

When I saw homeless people who had nothing to eat

nothing to celebrate

And in December

When some were celebrating

I saw a mother worried because she had no money

To buy gifts for your children

And I saw another mother crying

Because it was the first Christmas without her murdered son

And at the end of the year

While the firecrackers were going off

I saw a child on the ground bleeding to death

Because of a stray bullet

People preparing to start a new year

the same story

different days

This was a brief summary of the 12 months of a year…

Of 365 days…

And with the passing of the months I have realized…

That I belong to the most violent race on the planet...

And just as a tiger does not kill another tiger...

We should take the example...

And not kill each other...
