Translation of the song No Estamos Solas artist Ana Tijoux
No Estamos Solas
We are not alone
Coraza de piedra, piel de madera
Shell of stone, skin of wood
La luna me lleva, la noche me espera
The moon takes me, the night waits for me
¿Cuantas cayeron en medio de la niebla?
How many fell in the middle of the fog?
¿Cuántas desaparecieron?, ¿A cuántas tragaron la tierra?
How many disappeared? How many were swallowed by the earth?
La vida nos mata, la prensa desangra
Life kills us, the press bleeds out
Gritamos justicia cuando se nos calla
We scream justice when we are silenced
Nos sacan los ojos, nos pegan con palos
They take out our eyes, hit us with sticks
Nos abren las piernas, se hacen los sordos
Open our legs, pretend they are deaf
Nacimos culpables con todas la cruces
We were born guilty with all the crosses
Nos miran de arriba y apunta con luces
They look from above and signal with lights
No quiero tu iglesia, no quiero tu estado
I don't want your church, I don't want your state
Mi cuerpo es mío, que les quede claro
My body is mine, let that be clear to them
No a la iglesia, no al estado
No to the church, no to the state
Todo ese aparato cómplice, culpable
All that complicit, guilty device
Mi cuerpo yo mando, no quiero tus leyes
I rule my own body, I don't want your laws
Mi-mi-mi cuerpo yo mando
I rule my-my-my-own body
Buscan a una (buscan a una)
They come for one of us (the come for one of us)
Buscan a todas (buscan a todas)

No estamos solas (solas), so-so-so-solas
We are not alone (alone), a-a-a-alone
Grita su nombre ahora, grita su nombre ahora

Buscan a una (buscan a una)

Buscan a todas (buscan a todas)

Y la maldad se desborda
And evil overflows
Frente a todos a quemarropa
In front of everyone at point blank
Somos millones de botas
