Carolina Deslandes - Eco - A COLORS SHOW (English Translation)
[Chorus]
Silence, from silence I make a scream
And my whole body hurts
Let me cry a little

[Verse]
Don't write empathy if you don't want to know
Look at Palestine and houses on fire
Look at Colombia and the call for freedom
For the police, for the militia, for the aggressiveness
And what do you want to talk about?
From the store that closed, from the party someone canceled
The clothes you didn't buy
What are you talking about? From the friends you haven't seen
When sadness insists on painting the city
It's not worth the hashtag if thе soul is small
There is no cardinal that saves, nor clout that stеals the scene
Blood runs in the streets, bombs falling from the sky
From families like yours that nobody helped
Don't listen to me, don't follow me, if you don't care
I came to kick open all the doors
I came to talk about genocide, racism at the microphone
There are those who hide in cynicism, I put my mouth on the trombone
And I pray to God, light the candle, and ask:
"Why did you give us the Earth if you didn't rule the world?"
"Why did you give us the war and the desire to want everything?"
"Why is it that whoever suffers, screams, and whoever rules, is deaf?"
I hug my children tonight, firmly
I appreciate the peace and the food on the table
And I just think about who was left with nothing
In the soup of the poor, in the soup of sorrow
Don't write empathy just to show up
To be empathic is to attend
It's suffering to see someone suffer
It is the wound in the body of another that insists on hurting
Who insists on hurting, who insists on hurting
Who insists on hurting
[Chorus]
Silence, from silence I make a scream
And my whole body hurts
Let me cry a little

Silence, from silence I make a scream
And my whole body hurts
Let me cry a little
