No Perros
Es un trabajo de pura dedication, del cuerpo, para la tierra que ya no te pertenece. Y para estar mas seguro, y que tu familia esté más feliz, tomaste en tus manos el Monte del Rey. Asi dejaste que tus manos de nino se volvieran a manos de hombre. Te encontraron unos hombres, de clase alta y piel blanca, y te llevaron al otro lado. El lado de la prosperidad y de felicidad. Y ahí te cubrieron desde la cabeza hasta los pies con veneno, por miedo de lo que pudieras traer. Te trataron como un perro, pero tu familia tenía que comer. Por los proximos Meses, por el proximo Ano, tu Cuerpo de Músico se volvió en uno de Luchador. Y cada Noche te fuiste con tu Acordeón y tus Amigos a una Cantina. El Acordeón, para tocar y ganar más dinero. Tu Amigos, para que les des la oportunidad de comer. No han comido tan bien en días. Al entrar a la Cantina veías un Anuncio que decía lo siguiente: Blancos SOLAMENTE, NO Negros, NO Mexicanos, NO PEROS. |
It is a work of pure dedication, by the body, for the earth which no longer belongs to you. And to be safer, and for your family to be happier, you took in your hands the Mountain of Kings. So you let your hands of a boy become the hands of a Man. Some men found you, of upper class and white skin, and they took you to the other side. The side of prosperity and happiness. There they sprayed you from head to toe with poison,afraid of what you could carry. They treated you like a dog, but your family needed to eat. For the next months, for the next year, your Musicians body became that of a fighters. And every night you went with your Accordion and your friends to a Cantina. The Accordion, to play and gain some money. Your Friends, so that they could get an opportunity to eat. They had not eaten so well in days. Entering the Cantina you would see a sign which said the following: Whites ONLY, NO Blacks, NO Mexicans, NO DOGS. |
