Translation of the song lyrics Se Van - Hernaldo Zuniga

Se Van (original)

Otro más que cae y se marcha
hay que enfriar champán.
El dictador temblando se dice «Ya me llamarán»
ha llegado nuestro tiempo
me pongo teatral
y me abrazo a la memoria
aprendiendo a caminar
por ese futuro que ya es hoy.
Tal vez será mejor que me calle
e intentar oir
el crujir de su estatua a caballo
en Plaza Mayor
una madre llora al hijo
que nunca volvió,
a esa herida no hay consuelo
¿Qué hacer para sacudir?
el odio heredado, el dolor.
Se van, se van, se van para siempre,
se van, se van, se van, y no vuelvan,
se van, se van, se van, ¡a la mierda ya!
buscan la noche para poder huir
salen por esa puerta que hay atrás,
no hay perdón, no hay final,
puede que haya una ley que los ampare
pero en esta canción no hay quién los salve
se van, se van.
se van, se van…
Hay que hacer instalar con urgencia
un nuevo país
sin poner cadena a los sueños
y recuperar
el atajo que nos lleve
a saber conjugar
todo verbo que desprenda
el vocablo «libertad»
No hay mejor venganza que la paz.
Se van, se van, se van para siempre,
se van, se van, se van, y no vuelvan,
se van, se van, se van, ¡a la mierda ya!
buscan la noche para poder huir
salen por esa puerta que hay atrás,
no hay perdón, no hay final,
puede que haya una ley que los ampare
pero en esta canción no hay quién los salve
se van, se van.
se van, se van… (Bis)

(translation)

Another one that falls and leaves
Champagne needs to be chilled.
The trembling dictator says to himself "They'll call me"
our time has come
I get theatrical
and I embrace the memory
learning to walk
for that future that already is today.
Maybe I'd better shut up
and try to hear
the creaking of his statue on horseback
in Main Square
a mother mourns her son
that he never came back
there is no comfort to that wound
What to do to shake?
the inherited hatred, the pain.
They go, they go, they go forever,
they go, they go, they go, and they don't come back,
they go, they go, they go, to hell with it!
they look for the night to be able to flee
They go out that door in the back.
there is no forgiveness, there is no end,
there may be a law that protects them
but in this song there is no one to save them
they go, they go
they go, they go...
Need to be installed urgently
a new country
without putting a chain on dreams
and retrieve
the shortcut that takes us
to know how to conjugate
every verb that gives off
the word "freedom"
There is no better revenge than peace.
They go, they go, they go forever,
they go, they go, they go, and they don't come back,
they go, they go, they go, to hell with it!
they look for the night to be able to flee
They go out that door in the back.
there is no forgiveness, there is no end,
there may be a law that protects them
but in this song there is no one to save them
they go, they go
they go, they go… (Bis)
