Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song Defensa de la Alegría , by - Los Chikos Del Maiz. Defensa de la Alegría(original) |
| No te rindas, por favor, no cedas |
| Aunque el frío queme, aunque el miedo muerda |
| Aunque el sol se esconda y se calle el viento |
| Aún hay fuego en tu alma, aún hay vida en tus sueños |
| No te rindas, por favor, no cedas |
| Aunque el frío queme, aunque el miedo muerda |
| Porqué esta es la hora y el mejor momento |
| Porqué no estás sola, porqué somos cientos |
| Y defender la alegría como una trinchera |
| Defenderla del escándalo y la rutina |
| De la miseria y los miserables |
| De las ausencias transitorias y las definitivas |
| Y defendamos la alegría porque el día a día es ruina |
| Pero nuestra sonrisa no la doma el poder |
| Y defender la valentía de creer en utopías |
| Porque con alegrías solo se puede vencer |
| Defender la de esa familia palestina |
| Que duermen todos en la misma habitación |
| Por si a la noche cae una bomba y todo termina |
| No quede nadie vivo con el peso del dolor |
| Y ese niño palestino solo quiere jugar |
| Ir al cole, estudiar, ser libre para soñar |
| Solo quiere ser un niño normal |
| Y no conocer los miedos de un adulto antes de ser su edad |
| Y defendamos la alegría de ese nieto |
| Que busca bajo el suelo los restos de dignidad |
| De ese abuelo que el fascismo hizo preso |
| Y fue fusilado al alba mientras gritaba 'no pasaran' |
| Y defendemos la alegría a pesar que los asesinos hoy gobiernan el estado |
| Y que ganaron la guerra ellos nos dirán pero humanamente quizá nosotros la |
| hayamos ganado |
| No te rindas, por favor, no cedas |
| Aunque el frío queme, aunque el miedo muerda |
| Aunque el sol se esconda y se calle el viento |
| Aún hay fuego en tu alma, aún hay vida en tus sueños |
| No te rindas, por favor, no cedas |
| Aunque el frío queme, aunque el miedo muerda |
| Porqué esta es la hora y el mejor momento |
| Porqué no estás sola, porqué somos cientos |
| Y defender la alegría como una bandera |
| Que no te hace prisionera, que no cree en dioses ni fronteras |
| Defendamos perseguir nuestras quimeras |
| Porque hacen falta locos, hacen falta majaderas |
| Y defendamos la alegría como un derecho |
| Como el derecho a pan, a trabajo y a techo |
| Como un derecho que nos niegan |
| Pero si no llega iremos con todas nuestras fuerzas a cogerlo |
| Y defendamos la alegría del que sube andamios |
| Y a los 50 ya no puede casi andar |
| Y defendamos la alegría del minero |
| Que se juega la vida por llevar a casa pan |
| Y defendamos la alegría de esa camarera |
| Que aguanta abusos de su jefe y de clientes |
| Con dolores de tobillos y cadera |
| Pero por su familia lo hace siempre sonriente |
| Y defendamos la alegría de ese preso |
| Que por su ideología le niegan la libertad |
| Pero no hay muros altos ni barrotes gruesos |
| Que a las voces discordantes logren poder acallar |
| Y defendamos la alegría de la clase trabajadora |
| Que a pesar de todo en pie resiste |
| Y no desiste al quedar muchas conquistas |
| Y somos realistas y exigimos lo imposible |
| No te rindas, por favor, no cedas |
| Aunque el frío queme, aunque el miedo muerda |
| Aunque el sol se esconda y se calle el viento |
| Aún hay fuego en tu alma, aún hay vida en tus sueños |
| No te rindas, por favor, no cedas |
| Aunque el frío queme, aunque el miedo muerda |
| Porqué esta es la hora y el mejor momento |
| Porqué no estás sola, porqué somos cientos |
| Si estamos lejos como un horizonte |
| Si allá quedaron árboles y cielo |
| Si cada noche es siempre alguna ausencia |
| Y cada despertar un desencuentro |
| Usted preguntará por que cantamos |
| Cantamos porque el grito no es bastante |
| Y no es bastante el llanto ni la bronca |
| Cantamos porque creemos en la gente |
| Y porque venceremos la derrota |
| Cantamos porque llueve sobre el surco |
| Y somos militantes de la vida |
| Y porque no podemos ni queremos |
| Dejar que la canción se haga ceniza |
| (translation) |
| Don't give up, please don't give in |
| Although the cold burns, although the fear bites |
| Although the sun hides and the wind is silent |
| There's still fire in your soul, there's still life in your dreams |
| Don't give up, please don't give in |
| Although the cold burns, although the fear bites |
| Because this is the time and the best time |
| Because you are not alone, because we are hundreds |
| And defend joy like a trench |
| Defending her from scandal and routine |
| Of misery and the wretched |
| Of transitory and definitive absences |
| And let's defend joy because day to day is ruin |
| But our smile is not tamed by power |
| And defend the courage to believe in utopias |
| Because with joy you can only win |
| Defending that of that Palestinian family |
| They all sleep in the same room |
| In case a bomb falls at night and everything ends |
| No one is left alive with the weight of pain |
| And that palestinian boy just wants to play |
| Go to school, study, be free to dream |
| He just wants to be a normal boy |
| And not knowing the fears of an adult before being their age |
| And let's defend the joy of that grandson |
| That he looks under the ground for the remains of dignity |
| Of that grandfather that fascism made prisoner |
| And he was shot at dawn while he shouted 'don't pass' |
| And we defend joy even though murderers rule the state today |
| And that they won the war they will tell us but humanly perhaps we |
| we have won |
| Don't give up, please don't give in |
| Although the cold burns, although the fear bites |
| Although the sun hides and the wind is silent |
| There's still fire in your soul, there's still life in your dreams |
| Don't give up, please don't give in |
| Although the cold burns, although the fear bites |
| Because this is the time and the best time |
| Because you are not alone, because we are hundreds |
| And defend joy like a flag |
| That does not make you a prisoner, that does not believe in gods or borders |
| Let's defend chasing our chimeras |
| Because crazy people are needed, craziness is needed |
| And let's defend joy as a right |
| Like the right to bread, to work and to shelter |
| Like a right that we are denied |
| But if it doesn't come, we'll go with all our might to catch it. |
| And let's defend the joy of the one who climbs scaffolding |
| And at 50 he can barely walk |
| And let's defend the joy of the miner |
| That life is risked to bring home bread |
| And let's defend the joy of that waitress |
| That she puts up with abuse from her boss and from clients |
| With ankle and hip pain |
| But for her family she always does it smiling |
| And let's defend the joy of that prisoner |
| That because of his ideology they deny him freedom |
| But there are no high walls or thick bars |
| That the discordant voices manage to be able to silence |
| And let's defend the joy of the working class |
| That despite everything standing resists |
| And do not give up when many conquests remain |
| And we're realists and we demand the impossible |
| Don't give up, please don't give in |
| Although the cold burns, although the fear bites |
| Although the sun hides and the wind is silent |
| There's still fire in your soul, there's still life in your dreams |
| Don't give up, please don't give in |
| Although the cold burns, although the fear bites |
| Because this is the time and the best time |
| Because you are not alone, because we are hundreds |
| If we are far as a horizon |
| If there were trees and sky |
| If every night is always some absence |
| And each awakening a misunderstanding |
| You will ask why we sing |
| We sing because the scream is not enough |
| And neither crying nor anger is enough |
| We sing because we believe in people |
| And because we will overcome defeat |
| We sing because it rains on the groove |
| And we are militants of life |
| And because we cannot and do not want to |
| Let the song turn to ash |
