Translation of the song lyrics Confianzas - Gotan Project

Confianzas (original)

Se sienta a la mesa y escribe
«con este poema no tomarás el poder» dice
«con estos versos no harás la Revolución» dice
«ni con miles de versos harás la Revolución» dice
Y más: esos versos no han de servirle para
Que peones maestros hacheros vivan mejor
Coman mejor o él mismo coma viva mejor
Ni para enamorar a una le servirán
No ganará plata con ellos
No entrará al cine gratis con ellos
No le darán ropa por ellos
No conseguirá tabaco o vino por ellos
Ni papagayos ni bufandas ni barcos
Ni toros ni paraguas conseguirá por ellos
Si por ellos fuera a la lluvia lo mojará
No alcanzará perdón o gracia por ellos
«con este poema no tomarás el poder» dice
«con estos versos no harás la Revolución» dice
«ni con miles de versos harás la Revolución» dice
Se sienta a la mesa y escribe

(translation)

He sits at the table and writes
“with this poem you will not take power” he says
«With these verses you will not make the Revolution» he says
"Not even with thousands of verses will you make the Revolution" he says
And more: those verses should not be used to
May master axemen pawns live better
Eat better or himself eat better live
Not even to make one fall in love they will serve you
He will not earn money with them
You won't get into the movies for free with them
They will not give you clothes for them
He won't get tobacco or wine for them
Neither parrots nor scarves nor boats
Neither bulls nor umbrellas he will get for them
If he went to the rain for them, he would get wet
You won't get forgiveness or grace for them
“with this poem you will not take power” he says
«With these verses you will not make the Revolution» he says
"Not even with thousands of verses will you make the Revolution" he says
He sits at the table and writes
