Lo que el viento se dejó [English translation]

Yesterday, I talked with a very formal guy

Father of a family and an exemplary husband

His first name is 'promise' and his last name is 'lie'

He makes the rules and says how you have to live.

Let me tell you, very politely,1

that my fatherland is my guitar, and my nation, only myself

Today, I want to show you my world, and pay attention

to everything you see, and carefully keep your honor.

You'll know Maria, who stands on the corner day and night

She was raped by her father; the one on the floor is her mother

He made a serious mistake,

She's in withdrawal and has no heroine

And the boy, who is crying,

At six months old begging on the streets.

The only flag that makes me stand up

Are a woman's panties

The only anthem that makes me

Shiver, are two lives

And waiting for you... waiting for the dawn

The drunkard on the corner

Has a degree in medicine

And that old man you pushed2

You stole his pension

If you3 slept on cardboards, among whores and thieves

If you starved and freezed

You'd sing what I say

Let me spit on you, but politely

And when you get to the Moncloa4, compare

Everything you have seen is my religion

For a certain donation... your wallet and your watch

What the wnd left behind was guys like you

Not even with all your5 power could you make off with the night

Not even with all your money could you steal the streets

Not even with all your ambition could you stop us from dreaming

And that's the national anthem

For us: Rock N' Roll

Left behind with the wind

You already saw Maria and the drunkard on the corner...

You'll sleep on cardboards among whores and thieves
