Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Santiago by Attaque 77 from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Ellos están bien llenos y nosotros hambrientos
They are well filled and we are hungry
Nos tienen aplacados así
They have us placated like this
Bicicleteándonos con esta mierda de sueldo
Cycling us with this salary shit
Y ellos viven a lo Beverly Hills
And they live like Beverly Hills.
Así, mientras saben que vamos a esperar
So, while they know that we are going to wait
Perdemos el tiempo, nadie nos va a ayudar
We waste time, no one is going to help us
Salgamos a las calles a tomar lo que es nuestro
Let's take to the streets to take what is ours
La rabia no se puede ocultar
Anger cannot be hidden
Saqueando sus viviendas
Looting their homes
Así como ellos hicieron con nuestra dignidad
Just as they did with our dignity
Mirando a lo lejos, se puede divisar
Looking into the distance, you can see
Un pueblo dormido que quiere despertar
A sleeping people who want to wake up
Santiago no duerme más la siesta
Santiago doesn't nap anymore
La autoridad dio un paso al costado
The authority stepped aside
Dijeron: nosotros terminamos acá
They said: we end up here.
Entonces contrataron matones a sueldo
So they hired hired hired thugs.
Basura hay en cualquier lugar
Garbage is everywhere
Algunas personas nunca comprenderán
Some people will never understand
Amargo el obrero no puede continuar
Bitter the worker cannot continue
Santiago no duerme más la siesta
Santiago doesn't nap anymore
Algunas personas nunca comprenderán
Some people will never understand
Amargo el obrero no puede continuar
Bitter the worker cannot continue
