El hormiguero [English translation]

Here come the ants

We are conquering enemy lands

Invisible, silent and simultaneous

All the invasion is underground

Without shooting into the air, without firing missiles,

Without having to kill people using projectiles

We fight the war without using rifles

We go block by block like bricklayers

A couple cowboys have tried to stop us

But the anthill is already built

We are many brothers with many cousins

The family is large because we do reproduce

We take the place of the cowboy in his offices

Because we work full time and with no tip

We are not welcome

But we enter however we can, we sting you and we punish you

When you are least paying attention the ants trick you

They attack as a team just like piranhas

Although small, thanks to the union

All together become a truck

Poor cowboy who underestimates us

When he falls asleep, the colony gets over him

That's why the cowboys in all corners

We have them eating Latin food

You want war? [x14]

Ants can face any giant

They enter through the trunk of any elephant

They make them collapse without any blood splashing

Formic acid, so it stings them

Don't be too confident if the bite does not burn you now

The burning of the bite, you will feel it later

Even if you have cowboy boots and hat

There are many ants and just a few cowboys

The humble people ate the nobles

By 2020 we will be double,

Here there is no racism, it is not about race

If I work here, well, here I have my house

Being impartial, that is what it's all about

We have to share all the candy of the piñata

But if the cowboy mistreats us

It could be the ants will react like Zapata

As a team, any setback is resolved

When we sting you, we all sting at the same time

There should be no questions about our unity

When facing danger, ants die together

You want war [x8]

A sleeping country is a deserted country

My government gets scared when I wake up

You can even throw at me your federals (FBI)

We are 600 million without counting the illegals

Between the legs I never hide my tail

I prefer to die as a rebel than to live as a slave

I bet your people will surrender first

Because my soldiers do not fight for money

I'm not afraid of confrontations

Because I grew up among invasions

And just like the ants, if I have bad luck

I defend my anthill to death

You want war [x21]

Let's face off to see who is tougher!
