El Aguante [English translation]

We were born to bare with what the body holds

we endured what came and we'll endure what’s to come

we endure even if we have our seconds counted

Our body holds up to fifteen minutes hanged

Endured lashes, the cut of our both arms

fractures in any bone, three weeks with a plaster

we endure all the time the need to go to the bathroom

to see halley's comet we endure seventy years

We put up with school, the faculty, the institute

At dinner time, we hold back burps

The people of Burundi is still enduring famine

We endured three days to reach the moon

we endure the cold arctic, the hot tropic

We put up with our antibodies the microscopic viruses

we endure storms, hurricanes, bad weather

we endured Nagasaki, we endured Hiroshima

even if we don’t want to, we endure new laws

we endure now that today kings still exists

we punish the humble and endure the cruel

we endured being slaves because the color of our skin

we endure capitalism, communism, socialism, feudalism

we endured even stupidity

We endure the culprit when he's pretending to be innocent

We endure each year our f***ing President

For what was and could’ve been

for what we have and what could be missing

for what’s to come and for right now

a toast to resilience!

For what was and could’ve been

for what we have and what could be missing

for what’s to come and for right now

rise your glass and toast for resilience

a toast for resilience!

We endure any pain even if it hurts

We endured Pinochet, we endured Videla

Frank, Mao, Rios Montt, Mugabe

Hitler, Idi Amin, Stalin, Bush, Truman, Ariel Sharon and hussein

We endure more than twenty concentration camps

When you swim underwater, you hold your breath

to build a wall we hold the bricks

The nonsmoker endures the smell of smoke

We endure that Monsanto infects our food

We endure Agent Orange and pesticides

When we sail we endure seasickness

We endure minimum wage and the unemployment

We endured Falkland and the British invasion

in the city of Pompeii we endured volcanic lava

and within the logic In our humanity,

we believe the lie and no one bares the truth

For what was and could’ve been

for what we have and what could be missing

for what’s to come and for right now

rise your glass and toast for resilience

a toast for resilience!

We endure the atheist, the Mormon, the Christian

the Buddhist, the Jew

We endure the pagan,

We endured those who sells the bullets

and the one that shoots them

We endured the death of Lennon, of Victor Jara

We endured many wars, Vietnam, the Cold War

The war of the Hundred Years War, the War of the Six Days

They have to endure the rematch, we come for retaliation

Today our liver will endure what the bar invites

For what was and could’ve been

for what we have and what could be missing

for what’s to come and for right now

a toast to resilience!

For what was and could’ve been

for what we have and what could be missing

for what’s to come and for right now

rise your glass and toast for resilience

a toast for resilience!
