Sin Memoria [English translation]

[Julión Álvarez:]

I never ask for opinions

But man, they sure do offer them

I seldom ask for favors

Because I pay them back with interest

I get plenty mad from so many questions

When the interrogator

Was at my meeting yesterday

Asking for my help

[Alfredo Olivas:]

Well excuse me, he who doesn't listen

Note my dissatisfaction

The people have no fight

Nor any heart

Sir I don't toss in the towel for not being a coward

But it's just that in my situation

I can't find which way to go

But just straight ahead

[Julión Álvarez:]

And it's just that still

There are so many mouths to shut up

We still have to put them in their place

So many people who have lost their memory

Who swam next to me in a sea of glory

And simply aren't here now because they wanted and they could

And simply because now

Their tree doesn't have any fruit1

[Alfredo Olivas:]

To make it clearer

I'm not putting up any resistance

I'm just asking you a favor

Don't test my patience

[Julión Álvarez:]

Don't feel offended, I take responsibility

What I now say hurt

I maintain in a polite way

I believe that's the most reasonable

[Alfredo Olivas:]

And it's just that still

There are so many mouths to shut up

We still have to put them in their place

So many people who now have their memory

Who want to return to glory with me

And I simply am not there because I want to and because I can

And know that from now on

We're putting our hearts and minds into it

1. Literally, their cactus doesn't have any prickly pear
