El Aguante [English translation]
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!
