Ana Tijoux "Oro negro" lyrics

Oro negro

No mira ni siente, nunca se detiene,solo camina con dolor permanente.La muerte, mata y mata. Nunca le basta, ataca y ataca a quien pasa por su caminar sin importar la forma de pensar.Arrasa con todo, dispara su rojo y apunta en el ojo en nombre del oro, en nombre de banderas y de fronteras, en nombre de absurdos, se llama guerra, se llama tontera en nombre de la paz, valla locura de que somos capaz.Hijos, niños, familias, gritos, balas, bombas, conflictos malditos. Con ira con rabia, con tanto con tanta impotencia, tus manos manchadas.

Cuantos hermanos tendrás que matar.La tierra que llora se va a desangrar.Que llegue la vida como un vendaval.Que brote la vida, que brille con fuerza, que irradie su luz y toda su esencia.Ooooh...

Oro negro, oro blanco, oro verde, oro sangre.Oro negro, oro blanco, oro verde, oro sangre.Oro negro, oro blanco, oro verde, oro sangre.Oro negro, oro blanco, oro verde, oro sangre.

No paran, disparan, deciden y matan, de traje y corbata con leyes arrasan. Patriarcas y jefes o presidentes, patrones y amos o terratenientes.En nombre de Dios o de seguridad, en nombre de calma y de tranquilidad. De cruces, de dogmas, de imperios, coronas, de credos, petróleo, todo lo devoran.Son terroristas de Estado, criminales sueltos, por todos lados. Ahogan la vida desde su oficina, mandando sus tropas a la muerte fija. Culpables de hacer la tierra sangrar. Culpables de comunidades matar. Culpables, culpables de niños llorar, culpables de la vida sepultar.

Cuantos hermanos tendrás que matar,cuantas naciones tendrás que ocupar.La tierra que llora se va a desangrar,por tu poder que no puedes saciar.

Que llegue la vida como un vendaval,para sembrar flores que quieran cortar.Que brote la vida, que brille con fuerza, que irradie su luz y toda su esencia.Ooooh... x2

Oro negro, oro blanco, oro verde, oro sangre.Oro negro, oro blanco, oro verde, oro sangre.Oro negro, oro blanco, oro verde, oro sangre.Oro negro, oro blanco, oro verde, oro sangre.

Black Gold

It doesn't see or feel, and it never stops;it walks in permanent pain.Death kills and kills. It's never enough. It attacks anyone who crosses its path again and again, no matter the ideology.It tears everything down. It shoots red, its eye aims in the name of gold, of flags, of frontiers, in the name of the absurd. It's called war. It's called stupidity in the name of peace. What madness, the one we are capable of!Sons and daughters, children, families, screams, bullets, bombs, damned conflicts. With ire and fury, with so much--with helplessness, your hands are stained.

How many brothers and sisters will you have to kill?The earth cries, it will bleed itself to death.Let life come like a strong wind.Let life sprout, let it shine in strength, let its light radiate, and all of its essence too.Ohhhh....

Black gold, white gold, green gold, blood gold.Black gold, white gold, green gold, blood gold.Black gold, white gold, green gold, blood gold.Black gold, white gold, green gold, blood gold.

They don't stop, they shoot. They decide and kill in a suit and tie with laws that destroy and level all. Patriarchs, and chiefs, or presidents, bosses, and lords, or landlords.In the name of God, or of security, in the name of peace and tranquility. Of crosses, of dogmas, of empires, of crowns, of creeds, of oil, they devour it all.They are terrorists of the state, criminals on the loose, everywhere.They drown life from their offices, sending troops to their definite deaths. They are guilty of making the earth bleed. They are guilty of killing communities. Guilty, guilty of the crying of children, of the burial of life.

How many brothers and sisters will you have to kill?How many nations will you have to occupy/invade?The crying earth will bleed itself to death,because you cannot satiate yourself with enough power.

Let life come like a strong wind,so it can plant flowers they'd like to tear out.Let life sprout, let it shine with strength, let its light radiate, and all of its essence too.Ohhhhh ... [x2]

Black gold, white gold, green gold, blood gold.Black gold, white gold, green gold, blood gold.Black gold, white gold, green gold, blood gold.Black gold, white gold, green gold, blood gold.
