Violeta - Ozomatli

En un desierto lejos de ti me confesé

Que todo lo que siempre creí mentira fue

Soy hermano, soy esposo, hijo y padre

Soy guerrero mucha sangre derramé

Ah eh, solo con mi pena

Ah eh, solo en mi dolor

Ah eh, sufro mi condena

De no verte nunca más, Violeta

De esta matanza me quise escapar solo por ti

En una bala mi vida alcanzó y yo perdí

Fui hermano, fui esposo, hijo y padre

Fui soldado y tanta sangre derramé

Ah eh, solo con mi pena

Ah eh, solo en mi dolor

Ah eh, sufro mi condena

De no verte nunca más, Violeta

Todo pudo ser que nunca pude ver

Que en guerra el que gana, la paz ha de perder

Hoy la decisión queda para ti

Dejar tu propia sangre a morir

BRIDGE:

Y tu mamá que dice

Tu hermano y tu papá que dicen

Tu hija, tu marido que dicen

Los nietos, tu abuela… dime que te dicen

Gente que dicen

Los músicos del mundo que dicen

De frente y a luchar, que dicen

Por la igualdad y los derechos

Dime que te dicen

Ah eh, solo con mi pena

Ah eh, solo en mi dolor

Ah eh, sufro mi condena

De no verte nunca más, Violeta

In a desert far from you I confessed

That everything I always believed was a lie

I am a brother, I am a husband, son and father

I am a warrior, I spilled a lot of blood

Ah eh, alone with my sorrow

Ah huh, alone in my pain

Ah eh, I suffer my sentence

Of never seeing you again, Violeta

I wanted to escape from this massacre just for you

In a bullet my life reached and I lost

I was a brother, I was a husband, son and father

I was a soldier and I spilled so much blood

Ah eh, alone with my sorrow

Ah huh, alone in my pain

Ah eh, I suffer my sentence

Of never seeing you again, Violeta

Everything could be that I could never see

That in war he who wins, peace must lose

Today the decision is for you

Leave your own blood to die

BRIDGE:

And what does your mom say?

Your brother and your dad, what do they say?

Your daughter, your husband, what do they say?

The grandchildren, your grandmother... tell me what they tell you

people who say

The musicians of the world who say

Go ahead and fight, what do they say?

For equality and rights

tell me what they tell you

Ah eh, alone with my sorrow

Ah huh, alone in my pain

Ah eh, I suffer my sentence

Of never seeing you again, Violeta
