Lyrics of Perdonen Mi Canto - Los Tigres Del Norte

Perdonen Mi Canto (original)

Gobiernos que buscan la guerra
En vez de luchar por la paz
Que miran los ninios que mueren
Por falta de agua y de pan
Porque no ayudar a los pobres
A aquel que le falta un hogar
No derrochar en las armas
Que acaban con la humanidad
Perdonen mi canto
Pero esque se fueron tanto
Y no los vi regresar
Quedaron en esa guerra
Pero jamas se enteraron
Porque fueron a luchar
Perdonen mi canto
Pero esque he deseado tanto
Que permanezca la paz
Que lastima que mi canto
No tenga la misma fuerza
La de una bomba nuclear
A los que inventan las armas
Yo lo quisiera saber
Porque no inventan que el tiempo
No nos arrugue la piel
Con sus inventos tan locos
Que hicieron para matar
La tierra ya no produce
Se contamina el mar
Perdonen mi canto
Pero esque se fueron tantos
Y no los vi regresar
Quedaron en esa guerra
Pero jamas se enteraron
Por que fueron a luchar
Perdonen mi canto
Pero esque he deseado tanto
Que permanezca la paz
Que lastima que mi canto
No tenga la misma fuerza
La de una bomba nuclear

(translation)

Governments seeking war
Instead of fighting for peace
What do the children who die look at?
Due to lack of water and bread
Why not help the poor
To the one who lacks a home
Don't splurge on weapons
that end humanity
forgive my singing
But it's because they left so much
And I didn't see them return
They stayed in that war
But they never found out
because they went to fight
forgive my singing
But I have wanted so much
May the peace remain
What a pity that my singing
do not have the same strength
That of a nuclear bomb
To those who invent weapons
I would like to know
Why don't they invent that time
Don't wrinkle our skin
With his crazy inventions
what did they do to kill
The earth no longer produces
the sea is polluted
forgive my singing
But so many left
And I didn't see them return
They stayed in that war
But they never found out
Why did they go to fight?
forgive my singing
But I have wanted so much
May the peace remain
What a pity that my singing
do not have the same strength
That of a nuclear bomb
