Bisabuelo

Hace cien años llego mi bisabuelo

A hundred years ago my great-grandfather arrived

Para un futuro busacar en este suelo

To seek a future in this land

Hay hambre y hay dolor,

There's hunger and there's pain,

su alma esta marcada por la guerra

His soul is marked by war

Europa quedó atras,

Europe was left behind,

Llegaban de a montones a estas tierras.

They arrived in droves to these lands.

Dijeron que ibas a sufrir

They said you were going to suffer

-te fue bien ahora me voy del pais

-You did well, now I'm leaving the country

-¿y por qué?, Porque esta todo mal

-And why? Because everything's wrong

No puedo trabajar, Y por eso me tengo que ir.

I can't work, and that's why I have to leave.

Querido bisabuelo si vivieras no entenderias

Dear great-grandfather, if you were alive you wouldn't understand

Por buscar un futuro mejor

In search of a better future

A tu tierra natal yo me fui

I went back to your homeland

Para soñar, para vivir, para crear un mundo nuevo.

To dream, to live, to create a new world.

-¡Bisabuelo!, viniste al pedo.

-Great-grandfather!, you came in vain.
