Lyrics

[Blood on my hands. could also be "blood of my hands"]

Mi espiritu ya esta cansado de cadenas psychologicas de pobresa
Ahora me quito mis manos de mis ojos y miro la realidad
Y porque acceptamos posiciones sub-servillente sin preguntas!
No tenemos que viver asi!
De nacimiento nos enseñan a creer que los blancos son mejor que los morenos
Y se imponen a acceptar la dominacion de hombres sobre mujeres
Estos tradiciones se tienen que acabar para siempre!
My spirit is already tired of the psychological cadence of poverty
Now I take my hands from my eyes and look at reality
And why do we accept subservient positions without question?
We don't have to live like this!
From birth they teach us to believe that the whites are better than blacks

[Note:"morenos" actually means dark-complected people rather than african people,]
[But there isn't a good english translation.]

And they persist in accepting the domination of men over women
These traditions must be finished forever and ever!
Sangre de mis manos!

Todos somos ninos de dios ey ningun gobierno puede negar lo
Ni dinero ni politica puede ebfrentar la verda que es eterna
Postivo advance social aqui no es enivetable, pero que queremos en est dia?
La verda "o" una vida de menttiras!
All of us are children of god, and no government can deny it
Neither money nor politics can confront the truth that is eternal
Positive social advance isn't inevitable here
But what do we want in this day? the truth, or a life of lies?
Sangre de mis manos!
