La Bala(original) |
Voy a contarles la historia |
Ay, de la bala, ay, de la bala |
Y si el pulso tengo bueno |
Voy a hacer fama, voy a hacer fama |
Pónganle mucha atención |
A esta copla, a esta copla |
No vaya a ser que le toque |
Una bala loca, una bala loca |
La bala se dispara |
Ay, se dispara, ay, se dispara |
La bala se dispara |
Ay, se dispara, se disparó |
En las manos del obrero |
Nació la bala, nació la bala |
Y en las manos de los ricos |
Se hizo mala, se hizo mala |
Muchos pobres han caído |
En la represión, en la represión |
Volviendo la bala al nido |
De su nación, de su nación |
La usaron para matar |
Al campesino, al campesino |
Pero hallaron resistencia |
Los asesinos, los asesinos |
Esto que digo, señores |
No es un ardid, no es un ardid |
Fue lo mismo que ocurrió |
Allá en Ranquil, allá en Ranquil |
La bala se dispara |
Ay, se dispara, ay, se dispara |
La bala se dispara |
Ay, se dispara, se disparó |
Mucho daño le ha hecho al pueblo |
La gente rica, la gente rica |
Usando el confesionario |
De los curitas, de los curitas |
Ahora la cosa ha cambiado |
Sin aforismo, sin aforismo |
Porque la iglesia camina |
Hacia el socialismo, hacia el socialismo |
La bala se dispara |
Ay, se dispara, ay, se dispara |
La bala se dispara |
Ay, se dispara, se disparó |
Si en materia de balazos |
Hay una encuesta, hay una encuesta |
Los yanquis dan tiro al lado |
A cualquier apuesta, a cualquier apuesta |
Estos gringos atrevidos |
Con tanta bala, con tanta bala |
En Cuba, Vietnam y Chile |
Les sale el tiro por la culata |
La bala me lo ha contado |
Dice que tiembla, dice que tiembla |
Porque los alborotados |
La recomiendan, la recomiendan |
Con la pólvora del pueblo |
Nace por fin la revolución |
Siendo el campo de batalla |
La producción, la producción |
La bala se dispara |
Ay, se dispara, ay, se dispara |
La bala se dispara |
Ay, se dispara, se disparó |
La bala nos advirtió |
Y no es la primera, no es la primera |
Que la vanguardia en la lucha |
Es la clase obrera, es la clase obrera |
Y acabando con la bala |
Ella no es mala, ella no es mala |
Todo depende de cuándo |
Quién la dispara, quién la dispara |
(translation) |
I'm going to tell you the story |
Oh, from the bullet, oh, from the bullet |
And if my pulse is good |
I'm going to make fame, I'm going to make fame |
pay close attention |
To this couplet, to this couplet |
It is not going to be that it touches you |
A crazy bullet, a crazy bullet |
the bullet is fired |
Oh, it goes off, oh, it goes off |
the bullet is fired |
Oh, it's fired, it's fired |
In the hands of the worker |
The bullet was born, the bullet was born |
And in the hands of the rich |
She became bad, she became bad |
Many poor have fallen |
In the crackdown, in the crackdown |
Returning the bullet to the nest |
Of your nation, of your nation |
They used it to kill |
To the peasant, to the peasant |
But they met resistance |
The killers, the killers |
What I say, gentlemen |
It's not a ruse, it's not a ruse |
It was the same thing that happened |
There in Ranquil, there in Ranquil |
the bullet is fired |
Oh, it goes off, oh, it goes off |
the bullet is fired |
Oh, it's fired, it's fired |
A lot of damage has been done to the town |
The rich people, the rich people |
Using the confessional |
Of the band-aids, of the band-aids |
Now the thing has changed |
No aphorism, no aphorism |
because the church walks |
Towards socialism, towards socialism |
the bullet is fired |
Oh, it goes off, oh, it goes off |
the bullet is fired |
Oh, it's fired, it's fired |
Yes in terms of bullets |
There's a poll, there's a poll |
Yankees give shot to the side |
To any bet, to any bet |
These daring gringos |
With so many bullets, with so many bullets |
In Cuba, Vietnam and Chile |
They get shot in the butt |
The bullet has told me |
He says he trembles, he says he trembles |
because the rowdies |
They recommend it, they recommend it |
With the gunpowder of the town |
The revolution is finally born |
Being the battlefield |
production, production |
the bullet is fired |
Oh, it goes off, oh, it goes off |
the bullet is fired |
Oh, it's fired, it's fired |
The bullet warned us |
And it's not the first, it's not the first |
That the vanguard in the fight |
It's the working class, it's the working class |
And finishing with the bullet |
She is not bad, she is not bad |
It all depends on when |
Who shoot it, who shoot it |
