Vándalo [English translation]

To all the fallen, to the detainees1, to those who stand in resistance

To all my siblings who never kept quiet, who've never been defeated

Those who've been humiliated, to those who've beaten security forces

Those who've always known that there's something fishy about2 this global system

Vandal, they call you a vandal, social hazard, vandal

rebellious insurgent, prepared for the battle

To those who work their ass off, to those who could never understand

How all the power fell into the hands3 of the greedy

To the insurgents who, against the current, demand social justice

And it doesn't matter where they're from,

there's no distance, no borders

A firm conscience can't be stopped by anything

It will come, it will come, the scales will reach balance

It will come, it will come, it will come

Ah, Ah, Ah, the pen is our gallows4

Alarm, neoliberalism is famine, death and terrorism

Alarm, neoliberalism, prepare yourself

For the oppressed, the disenfranchised, to those who are left to die

Their distended bellies, the death in their faces for a commercial interest

And now you should consider, Who is the true vandal?

Terrorism of the State, opulent and armed, decides who should live

Vandal, they call you a vandal, social hazard, vandal

rebellious insurgent, things won't change from your chair

It will come, it will come, the scales will reach balance

It will come, it will come, it will come - Victory Day

Ah, Ah, Ah, the pen is our gallows

Alarm, neoliberalism is famine, death and terrorism

Alarm, neoliberalism, prepare yourself

1. Especially for political reasons2. lit: there is a cat locked away in3. lit: net4. A "redil" refers to a pen or enclosure often used for sheep, whereas a "patíbulo" is a place where public executions used to be held. The idea is that our "pen" (society, the government, etc.) will ultimately lead to our deaths.
