Violeta Parra - Qué Dirá el Santo Padre

WHAT WILL THE HOLY FATHER SAY?

Look how they speak to us
about freedom
while they deprive us of it
in reality.
Look how they preach
tranquility,
while authority torments us.

What will the Holy Father say
who lives in Rome,
as they are slaughtering
his dove?

Look how they talk to us
about paradise
while bullets rain down
like hail.
Look how enthusiastic they are
about the verdict,
while they knew they were killing
an innocent.

What will the Holy Father say
who lives in Rome,
as they are slaughtering
his dove?

The one who officiated death
like an executioner
is calmly eating
his lunch.
With this, they have put
the rope around their necks,
the fifth commandment
is worthless.

What will the Holy Father say
who lives in Rome,
as they are slaughtering
his dove?

The more injustices there are,
Mr. Public Prosecutor,
the stronger my soul becomes
to sing.
It is beautiful to reap
the wheat from the field
soaked in your blood,
Julián Grimau.

What will the Holy Father say
who lives in Rome,
as they are slaughtering
his dove?
