El Aguante [English translation]

We were born to endure all the body can bear

We endure what came before and we endure what comes

We endure, even though our seconds are counted

Our body endures up to fifteen minutes being hanged

We endure lashes, having both arms chopped off

Fractures in any bone, three weeks with a cast

We constantly endure the urge to use the toilet

To witness Halley's comet we endure seventy years

We endure the school, the faculty, the institution

At dinner time, we endure the burps

The people of Burundi continues to endure famine

We endure three days in order to reach the moon

We endure the cold of the arctic, the hear of the tropics

We endure with antibodies the microscopic viruses

We endure storms, hurricanes, bad weather

We endure Nagasaki, we endure Hiroshima

Even though we don't want to, we endure new laws,

We endure day by day that kings still exist

We punish the humble and endure the cruel

We endure being slaves because the color of our skin

We endure capitalism, communism, socialism,

feudalism, we endure until stupidity.

We endure the guilty when they pretend to be innocent

Every day we endure our f***ing president

For what was and what could have been,

For what there is for what could be lacking

For what is to come and for this moment,

let's toast to endurance!

For what was and what could have been,

For what we have and what could be lacking

For what is to come and for this moment,

raise your glass and and let's toast to endurance!

A toast to endurance!

We endure any type of pain, although it hurts,

We endured Pinochet, we endured Videla

Franco, Mao, Ríos Montt, Mugabe, Hitler, Idi Amin

Stalin, Bush, Truman, Ariel Sharón y Hussein.

We endured more than twenty concentration camps,

When you swim underwater you hold your breath

To build a wall we endure the weight of all its bricks

Nonsmokers endure the smell of cigarette smoke

We endure that Monsanto contaminates of our food

We endure Agent Orange and pesticides

When we sail we endure seasickness

We endure minimum wage and unemployment

We endured the Falklands and the British invasion

In the city of Pompeii we endure molten lava

And in the logic of our humankind

We believe the lie and no one stands the truth

For what was and what could have been

For what we have and what could be lacking

For what is to come and for this moment,

lift your glass and let's toast to endurance!

We endure the atheist, the Mormon, the Christian

the Buddhist, the Jew, we endure the pagan,

We endure those who sell bullets and those who shoot

We endured the death of Lennon, of Victor Jara

We endured many wars, Vietnam, the Cold War

The Hundred Years War, the Six-Day War

they'll have to endure the revenge, we come in retaliation,

today our liver will endure all that the bar has to offer

For what was and what could have been,

For what we have and what could be lacking

For what is to come and for this moment,

¡a brindar por el aguante!

let's toast to endurance!
