lyrics

La danza de los gallinazos

Buitres negros surcan en el aire,
celebran en círculo el hallazgo de cadáveres,
ven la muerte a grandes distancias,
rasgan la carne tras la matanza.

Silentes, sombríos,
comen los cuerpos de los desaparecidos,
llenan sus vientres
de hombres sin nombre.

Gallinazos sigilosos despliegan las alas
al oír el estruendo de las balas cruzadas,
esperan pacientes el final de la ofensiva
y preparan la panza,
se avecina la matanza.

Testigos antiguos de incontables masacres.
¡Larga es la historia de la guerra en Colombia!

Ayudantes de la muerte
tras sesenta años de guerra
aún preparan la volada,
más batallas anunciadas.

Un oscuro remolino gira alto en el cielo,
vigilantes permanecen,
la violencia no decrece,
parecemos condenados a la sombra de la muerte,
en el cielo la danza,
se avecina la matanza.

Silentes, sombríos,
en las alturas permanecen,
la oscuridad recrudece,
nuestra esperanza languidece.

The Vultures’ Dance
Black vultures plough through the sky,
celebrating on circle corpses they find,
death they sight they see it from afar,
after the killing flesh torn apart.

Silent and dark,
eating the bodies of the disappeared,
they pack their bellies,
of the countless, and nameless.

The vultures stealthily their wings wide spread
because of the burst when crossfire is heard,
patiently await, for the on fall to end,
and their bellies are clear,
for the killing is near.

Witnessing for ages uncountable massacres.
Long is the history of Colombia’s war!
Death’s dismal helpers, after sixty years of warfare,
still prepare their single flight,
for announced battles and fights.

A dark swirling gyre of black wings up in the sky.
Vigilant they remain violence does not wane.
It seems we are doomed under shadows of death.
Again, they do their dance
with the killing at their glance.

Silent and dark,
they remain way up high,
shadows grow and rise,
our hopes languish and die.
