Hermanita [English translation]

Time flies, it seems only yesterday we were kids

Mum and dad fought for our future

You looked after me, today I’m watching over you

Little sister I adore you and I know you’re not happy

Another punch in the face, it’s like that every week

An excuse, as always, but what do you win in the end?

That he’s making fun of you, but what can I do?

As much as I want to help you, you just except it this way

You’re my blood and my goal is saving you

I pray for you

Little sister he doesn’t want you

He has like 50 women and you know it

He abuses you and afterwards you defend him

It doesn’t look like he’s good for you

Why can’t you see

Chorus,

You cry, every time he hits you

You cry, it makes me furious and sad

You cry, how I feel your fear

You cry, you could die in his hands

You cry, this man makes you suffer

You cry, he gave you that bruise

You cry, when he spat in your face

You cry, and with a big mouth

You cry, he feels superior

This mans a beast, a coward

And without dignity for striking a woman

He isn’t worth your love for him

Think straight it’s not your fault

And you know it

Ladies keep your head up … come on

Holla back

Mi nephews shouldn’t have to see their mummy flee

There’s a monster in your house and you sleep with him

Go and count the hours he made you happy

Then count the years he made you suffer

I can’t stand seeing my sister crying

This man’s a rat

There’s no man who can force you

To be with him, you can leave, why don’t you see

What I’m seeing is not respect, it’s fear,

you’re feeling for this dog, why can’t you see

chorus:

You cry, when he gets home

You cry, like a drunk dog

You cry, and he strikes you for no reason

You cry, and the kids can only watch

You cry, and yell daddy no

You cry, don’t hit her again

You cry, this guy humiliates you

You cry, and lies to you

You cry, he has no heart

This better change

Let him come and hit me

I’ll put him in his place
