Nunca existieron murgas [English translation]

We never had murgas in my country

laughing at the face against the power.

There were no Patos, Gaditanas nor Asaltantes,

no Saltimbanquis, nor BCG.

We never had murgas in my country

laughing at the face against the power.

There were no Patos, Gaditanas nor Asaltantes,

no Saltimbanquis.

The ones who spent the millions

were paid by the progressivism to celebrate.

Murgas don't exist, we're a filler,

it's not good level for Uruguay.

Those who program the new era

don't see our chant as convenient.

For fear that we shout inconveniences

denouncing what we have to denounce.

There were no Pepinos, Pianito nor Cachela,

Pastrana nor Canario, Pitufo didn't exist.

They're against the soul of the prisoners.

La Soberana never took the risk.

There are no Diablos Verdes, nor Contrafarsa,

nor Araca, nor Milonga, nor Curtidor,

there are no springs of young murga.

La reina isn't of the people... maybe not.

For those who digit our culture

we're not much culture or it can be obvious.

Murgas facing the dictatorship.

It seems it's better not to remember.

We never had murgas in my country

laughing at the face against the power.

There were no Patos, Gaditanas nor Asaltantes,

no Saltimbanquis.

The murga fills stadiums on other countries,

making a cult of our identity.

No one is a prophet in his own land.

More fitting to reality than ever.

The murga didn't appear on that October 10

there wasn't the best, nor the worst.

Maybe it's not much part of the Uruguayan,

there was all the rest... but not the Murga.

We'll keep singing even if they ignore us.

We'll keep singing even if it's not around.

Because the murga is soul, seed and fountain.

endless fighter for freedom.

And to those who tried to pretend

that by ignoring it, we would shut up,

Falta y Resto shouts from the future,

the play didn't work, there was Murga "The..."1

Three!

The Uruguayan murga is our voice,

even if they ignore it, they can't silence it.

There will be Locas and Eternos Cachafaces,

mixing joy with freedom.
