chivis martinez for borderland beat
Below I have translated verses, an abridged overview of the song:
Grito de Guerra
Mexico City tonight over 50k demonstrators calling for the resignation of EPN....and then what? |
...And the protest continues.This compilation of Mexican Artists present a battle cry song with footage of various demonstrations and protests on behalf of the 43 students kidnapped by police and who remain missing. The students were taken into the night by police in Iguala, Guerrero,on September 26th, 2014.
On November 27ththe song will be available on iTunes, Spotify, and other platforms. The proceeds will go to the parents of the missing students
Grito de Guerra
What are we going to tell the people of this land, when they ask?
What we are going to say to the children of the homeland, when they ask what happened here?
What happened here, what happened here? (¿Qué pasó aquí, qué pasó aquí?)
How are we going to explain all the spilled blood, when they ask?
How are we going to explain those that have disappeared?
The freedom of murderers?
The absolution of genocide?
Mexicans cry out,
The sounds of War
But there is no war,
There is no war
But murder, here it is legal
Killing here is normal
Rap:
Sound the drums
Sound the dead
We are the mothers of the missing
We are the earth
The water, the wind
The voice that is calling
