Si el norte fuera el sur [English translation]

North with their McDonald's, basketball and Rock'N Roll

Their topless and Madonna's and Stallone's abs

Tanning intellectuals, supermarket scholars

They have everything but they haven't paid for anything

At 18 you're a kid to drink in a bar

But you're man enought for war and killing

Long live Vietnam and hurray for Forrest Gump

Long live Wall Street and hurray for Donald Trump

Long live Seven Eleven

They put powder on their noses and carry syringes in their pockets

They travel with marijuana to understand the situation

of this planet judge who releases an invitation

Cut it off to your husband and you'll gain reputation

REFRAIN:

Stripes and stars are taking over my flag

And our freedom is nothing but a whore

And if foreign debt stole the spring from us

Screw you, geography! The borders are over...

If North were south, the Sioux would be the outcast

Being dark skinned and squat would be the hottest look

Marcos would be the Mexican Rambo

And Cindy Crawford, the Menchú of my country folks

Reagan would be Somoza

Fidel would be an athlete running stock markets by Wall Street

and Che Guevara would cook Double-Meat burgers

the Yankees from Wetback to Tijuana

and the rafts from Miami to Havana, if North were South

We'd be the same, even maybe a little bit worse

with Falklands by Greenland

and a Disneyland in Guatemala

And a Simon Bolivar breaking his secret

Here it's the 187, Yankees out by decree

Stripes and stars are taking over my flag

And our freedom is nothing but a whore

And if foreign debt stole the spring from us

Screw you, geography! The borders are over... (twice)

If North were South, it'd be the same junk

I'd sing a Rap, and this song wouldn't even exist
