Entre Poetas Y Presos Lyrics in English La Raíz

La Raíz turns rebellion into poetry. In Entre Poetas y Presos the Valencian band gathers thousands of raised fists and threads them into one unstoppable voice. Images of “a tunnel from the mines to the clouds,” “Trojan horses,” and “wire-cutters against the padlock” paint a world where ordinary people sabotage the walls that keep them silent. They call themselves the children of poets—those who dreamed freedom on paper—and prisoners—those who paid for that dream with chains. The song shifts between roaring chants and tender lines, reminding us that laughter and tears, rage and hope, can march side by side when a community decides to flip the world upside down.

Amid the clamor, La Raíz tips its hat to the forgotten heroes: the women who waited outside the prison gates and the bones of the fallen still buried in roadside ditches. Their memory fuels every drumbeat and guitar strum, asking, “Why do you hate us?” while defiantly answering with even louder music. The result is a fierce anthem of historical memory, social justice, and unbreakable solidarity—perfect for anyone ready to shout, sing, and learn new English words all at once.
