about

"¿Cómo te explico?" It is a call for help from the Colombian people, within the framework of social protest. The Colombian Government, through the use of force by its military and police institutions, has violated the fundamental rights of Colombians. Hundreds of disappeared, cases of sexual violence, murders, victims of eye injuries. Tropickup, with this song, sings to the indifferent people about what is happening in the country.

lyrics

(ES)

¿Cómo te explico?
Que es a tu pueblo el que masacran
frente a tus ojos,
sin remedio

¿Cómo te explico?
Que es tu pueblo el que está luchando
por tus derechos,
bajo el fuego
bajo el fuego
bajo el fuego
bajo el fuego

A mi no me hables de canciones
si lo que suenan son detonaciones
llueven las balas por montones
respondiendo a todos tus pregones

Desde la absurda oscuridad
disparan desde el lujo de un sofá
disparan desde casa sin pensa'
disparan y a todos quieren calla'
y disparan
y disparan
y disparan
y disparan

¿Cómo te explico?
Que no está bien el ver morir a tu hermano
(¿Cómo te explico?)
Que la respuesta la tienes en tus manos
(¿Cómo te explico?)
Que alzar la voz demuestra tu inteligencia
(¿Cómo te explico?)
Que nos está matando la indiferencia
(¿Cómo te explico?)
¡¿Cómo te explico que los buenos somos más?!
(¿Cómo te explico?)
Que con las balas no se construye la paz
(¿Cómo te explico?)
Que en esta tierra caben todos por igual
(¿Cómo te explico?)
...
¿Cómo te explico?
...
¿Cómo te explico?

(EN)

How do I explain you?
That it is your people that they are massacred
in front of your eyes,
Without remedy

How do I explain you?
That it is your people who are fighting
for your rights,
under fire
under fire
under fire
under fire

Don't talk to me about songs
if what it sound is detonations
bullets are raining in heaps
answering all your cries

From the absurd darkness
They shot from the luxury of a sofa
They shoot from home without thinking
They shoot and they want to shut up everyone
and they shoot
and they shoot
and they shoot
and they shoot

How do I explain you?
That it is not good to see your brother die
(How do I explain you?)
That you have the answer in your hands
(How do I explain you?)
That raising your voice shows your intelligence
(How do I explain you?)
That indifference is killing us
(How do I explain you?)
How do I explain to you that we are more good?!
(How do I explain you?)
That with bullets peace is not built
(How do I explain you?)
That everyone fits equally on this earth
(How do I explain you?)
...
How do I explain you?
...
How do I explain you?
