Lyrics of Porque No Se Van - Los Prisioneros

Porque No Se Van (original)

Los Prisioneros
Miscellaneous
Por Que No Se Van Del Pais
Porque no se van
Suenas con Nueva York y con Europa
Te quejas de nuestra gente y de su ropa
Vives amando el cine Arte del Normandie
Si eres artista y los indios no te entienden
Si tu vanguardia aqui no se vende
Si quieres ser occidental de segunda mano
?Por que no te vas?
?Por que no se van, no se van del pais?
Si viajas todos los anos a Italia
Si la cultura es tan rica en Alemania
?Por que, el proximo ano te quedas alla?
Si aqui no tienes los medios que reclamas
Si aqui tu genio y talento no da fama
Si tu apellido no es Gonzales ni Tapia
?Por que no te vas?

(translation)

The prisoners
Miscellaneous
Why don't they leave the country
Why don't they go
You dream of New York and Europe
You complain about our people and their clothes
You live loving the cinema Arte del Normandie
If you are an artist and the Indians do not understand you
If your avant-garde is not for sale here
If you want to be second-hand western
?Why do not you go?
Why don't they leave, don't they leave the country?
If you travel every year to Italy
If the culture is so rich in Germany
Why, next year are you staying there?
If here you do not have the means you claim
If here your genius and talent does not give fame
If your last name is not Gonzales or Tapia
?Why do not you go?
