El Costo de la Vida [English translation]

The cost of living rises again

the weight that gets low is no longer seen

and beans may not be eaten

a pound of rice or coffee quarter

nobody cares what you think

Is it because we do not speak English here

ah ah it's true .. ah ah it's 'truth. ah ah it's truth.

do you understand?

do you do you.

and gas goes up again

the weight that gets low is no longer seen

and democracy can not grow

whether the conduction plays chess

nobody cares what you think?

is it because here we don't speak French

ah ah ah ah vous parlez vous parlez vous parlez ah ah ah ah no monsieur

we are a hole inbetween the sea and sky

500 years later

a race fall turned black and white but

Who discovered who ..

the weight that gets low

you see, poor, is no longer seen

and medicine you see is walking backwards
