Ana Tijoux - Somos Sur (Feat. Shadia Mansour)

[bomberqueen17]

Ana Tijoux, Somos Sur (“We Are The South”), from the album Vengo, 2014 

Lyric translation (of both Spanish and Arabic portions) below cut, from here

You tell us we should sit down, but ideas can only rise us, walk, march, don't surrender or retreat, see, learn like a sponge absorbs no one is surplus, all fall short, all add up all for all, all for us. We dream big that the empire may fall we shout out loud, there is no other remedy left. This is not utopia, this is a joyful dancing rebellion of those who are overrun, this dance is yours and mine let's rise to say "enough is enough" Neither Africa or Latin America are for auction, With mud, with a helmet, with a pencil, drum the fiasco to provoke a social earthquake in this puddle. 

All the silenced (all) All the neglected (all) All the invisible (all) All, All All, All x2 

Nigeria, Bolivia, Chile, Angola, Puerto Rico and Tunisia, Algeria, Venezuela, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Mozambique, Costa Rica, Cameroon, Congo, Cuba, Somalia, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Tanzania, Get out Yankees from Latin America, French, English and Dutch, I love you Free Palestine. 

Arabic Verse Rapped by Shadia Mansour: Give me, give me, give me the mic and sing Singing is the mother of world languages It holds our existence and it holds our root to greater Syria, Africa, and Latin America I'm with ANITA Tijoux I stand with those who suffer not with those who pretend I'm with culture, resistance I forgive and forgive and forgive and my bank declared bankruptcy At knowledge of the day, the situation had to be cured,  but then the situation needed to be deterred If you can free settlements, a lot of hands want to handshake yours, thousand "K", thousand "R" The home of weapons needs to be destroyed Let's go back to reality 

All the silenced (all) All the neglected (all) All the invisible (all) All, All All, All x2 

Looting, trampling, colonization, Matias Catrileo, Gualmapu, A thousand times we will overcome, from the sky to the ground, and from the ground to the sky Let's go, jumping. White Knight, go back to your city, we are not afraid. We have life and fire, fire in our hands, fire in our eyes. We have so much life, and strength up to the color red. The child Mary doesn't want your punishment, she is going to free the Palestinian soil. We are Africans, Latin Americans, we are the south and we join our hands together. 

All the silenced (all) All the neglected (all) All the invisible (all) All, All All, Allx2

yesterday I got in a great mood after I heard Mr Mitch McConnell saying "how dare say we would ever remove a democratically elected leader of.... a sOVEREIGN dEMocRacY!!!!!!!!!!", me reí por horas -y aún me rio, y luego René viene y dice junto a Ibey...

Hay que ser bien bruto, bien hueco...
