lyrics

Cinco Siglos Igual (Gieco/Gurevich)

Soledad sobre ruinas
Sangre en el trigo
Rojo y amarillo
Manantial del veneno
Escudo heridas
Cinco siglos igual

Libertad sin galope
Banderas rotas
Soberbia y mentiras
Medallas de oro y plata
Contra esperanza
Cinco siglos igual

En esta parte de la tierra la historia se cayó
Como se caen las piedras
Aun las que tocan el cielo
O están cerca del sol
O están cerca del sol

Desamor desencuentro
Perdón y olvido
Cuerpo con mineral
Pueblos trabajadores
Infancias pobres
Cinco siglos igual

Lealtad sobre tumbas
Piedra sagrada
Dios no alcanzó a llorar
Sueño largo del mal
Hijos de nadie,
cinco siglos igual

Muerte contra la vida
Gloria de un pueblo desaparecido
Es comienzo, es final
Leyenda perdida
Cinco siglos igual


En esta parte de la tierra
La historia se cayó
Como se caen las piedras
Aun las que tocan el cielo
O están cerca del sol
O están cerca del sol

Es tinieblas con flores
Revoluciones
Y aunque muchos no están
Nunca nadie pensó besarte los pies
Cinco siglos igual

Solitude over ruins.
Blood on grain,
Red and yellow.
Fountain of poison.
Wounded shields.
5 centuries unchanged.

Liberty with no gallop.
Battered, torn flags.
Pride and lies.
Gold and silver medals
Against hope.
5 centuries unchanged.

On this part of the earth,
History fell
As stones fall,
Yet some touch the heavens
Or are close to the sun.
Or are close to the sun.

Unlove, Unfound.
Forgive and forget.
Body with mineral.
Hard working towns.
Infancies empoverished.
5 centuries unchanged.

Loyalty over tombs.
Sacred stones.
God had no chance to cry.
A long nightmare.
Children of no one.
Five centuries unchanged.

Death against life.
The glory of a people
Disappeared.
It's beginning, it's ending.
Legend lost.
Five centuries unchanged.

On this part of the earth.
History fell
As stones fall,
Yet some touch the heavens
Or are close to the sun.
Or are close to the sun.

It's flowers at dusk.
Revolutions
And though many are no longer with us
Never did anyone think
To kiss your feet.
Five centuries unchanged.

(English translation by Joel Cruz)
