Poder Elegir

JORGE GONZALEZ

Lyrics Translation

La vida no es broma
Hay algo mas que comer y llorar
Que ver pasar los años
Siempre pensando en pensar
Las vidas no son bromas
Hay un poco mas que se puede hacer
Bastanta mas que enviar cupones a la tele
Mas que planchar tus bluyines
Mas que pelear por un sueldo decente
A cada fin de mes

Hay gente que esta comiendo
De tu no saber que decir
Su fuerza es la ignorancia
De todos nosotros
Vampiros que suponen que somos
Felices con sobrevivir
Y se aseguran que todo siga asi

Queremos elegir decidir
Debemos elegir como quieres vivir
Reclamar y pelear obligar
Y dejar de llorar
Y que nadie aproveche de ti

Es tan difícil
Yo sé que hay tanto miedo y frustración
Ellos se rién de todas las caras
Unas gotas de sangre a cambio de mil toneladas
Y solo cantar canciones

Queremos elegir decidir
Debemos elegir como quieres vivir
Reclamar y pelear obligar
Y dejar de llorar
Y que nadie aproveche de ti

[Verse 1]
Life is not a joke, there's something more beyond eating and crying
Than seeing the years go by always thinking of thoughts
Lives are not jokes, there's a little something that can be done
Much more than just sending coupons to TV
Much more than ironing your blue jeans
Much more than struggling to decently make ends meet

[Verse 2]
There's people that are eating from your "don't know what to say"
Their strength is simply all of our ignorance
Those vampires are assuming that we're all happy just by surviving
And making sure that everything stays that way

[Chorus]
We want to choose! To decide
We want to choose how you want to live
To demand and to fight! Obligate and to cry no more!
Don't let no one take advantage of you
Don't let no one take advantage of you

[Verse 3]
But it's so hard, I know there's so much fear and frustration
They are laughing at every face
Just a few drops of blood in exchange for a thousand tons
And we can only sing a song

[Chorus]
We want to choose! To decide
We want to choose how you want to live
To demand and to fight! Obligate and to cry no more!
Don't let no one take advantage of you
Don't let no one take advantage of you

[Refrain]
Their power is our own ignorance
Their power is our own ignorance
Their power is our own ignorance
Their power is our own ignorance
Their power is our own ignorance
Their power is our own ignorance
Their power is our own ignorance
Their power is our own ignorance
(Their power is our own ignorance)
(Their power is our own ignorance)
(Their power is our own ignorance)
(Their power is our own ignorance)
(Their power is our own ignorance)
(Their power is our own ignorance...)
