Días de Escuela [English translation]

I was going to school well wrapped up

1960, not so long ago

sitting in front of a cross and certain portraits

glorious boring hymns between yawn and yawn

Waking up in desks by twos

I still remember Don Ramon's narrow moustache

and the coal heater in front of the teacher

the well known heater that doesn't heat not even God.

The bell rings, finally!

a snack, a break, an escape

one more torture before the game

the powder milk and the american cheese.

You come out and the chubby after

I trade your cards, I play the heel

You come out, I mess it

let's hurry they'll put us inside.

Two hours of catecism, the communion in may

the letter with blood comes, another rap on the head!

tasks for tomorrow, I put my coat on

another verse to the team and see you Don Ramon.

Now what do you think,

if the more they opressed me the more I loved freedom.

It's to you who I sing today,

teach your children, teach your children to love freedom.
