Lyrics and translation Puya - Solo

Solo

Sin razon ni explicacion le quitaron al niño
Su mas sagrado don su motivo su imaginacion
Decolorando con falsedad seguimos matando
El nacer de una nueva idea esperanza una nueva cancion
Aquello que parecio algo tan puro
Se marchito se endurecio al ritmo del progresso
Entre tanta careta y apariencia se nos sigue olvidando
Que bien adento nuestro indio sigue sonando.

Trece catorce y hasta nueva con un arma en la mano
Su mayor aspiracion es ser bichote en su barrio
Su familia le fallo, le falla el estado
Su casa es la calle y su escuela es el punto de al lado
Una cara dos caras tres carajos se puede creer
Ten cuidado con el raton porque te puede morder
Oye mi hermano cuida bien, cuida bien tu tesoro
No pierdas tu esencia, no la vendas por un gramo o por oro

Conoce tu propio ser
Celebra tu propio ser
Conoce tu propio ser
Celebra tu propio ser

Solo venimos, solo nos vamos
Y aqui nos juntamos, juntos aqui estamos.

Alone

Without reason or explanation, they took the child
His most sacred gift, his purpose, his imagination
By discoloring with falsehood, we continue to kill
The birth of a new idea, a new song of hope
That which seemed so pure
It withered, it hardened to the rhythm of progress
Among so many masks and appearances, we keep forgetting
Our Indian customs are well ingrained within us.

Thirteen, fourteen and up to nineteen with a weapon in their hand
Their greatest aspiration is to be a big shot in their neighborhood
Their family failed them, the state fails them
Their home is the street and the drug dealing spot is their school
I swear to God, man, one, two, three guys
Be careful with the punk because he might bite you
Hey bro, take good care, take good care of your treasure
Don't lose your essence, don't sell it for a gram or for gold

Know your own self
Celebrate your own self
Know your own self
Celebrate your own self

We come alone, we leave alone
And here we gather, together we are here.
