Sangre en la historia de aquel gladiador

Que en plena calle luchó

Manifestando lo que no entendió

Resuena el eco en su voz

Pueblo argentino la plata de pie

Corriendo el setenta y seis

Luchando un ticket de aquel autobús

Que no llegó a ver la luz

Siete inocentes de sangre y unión

Brotó su caparazón
Their shell emerged
Rojas las celdas que los albergó
Red the cells that housed them
Son rojadas de dolor
Are stains of pain
Un sol rebelde ilumina hacia allí

A esa memoria que fui

Y en la derrota me disfrazaré

Del mismo pibe otra vez
As the same kid once again
