Preguntitas sobre Dios [English translation]

One day I asked:

Grandfather, where is God?

My grandfather got sad,

and replied me nothing.

My grandfather died in the fields,

without prayer or confession.

And the natives buried him,

flute of cane and drum.

Time after I asked:

Father, what do you know of God?

My father got serious

and replied me nothing.

My father died in the mine

without doctor or protection.

Color of mine blood

has the gold of the boss!

My brother lives in the mountains

and he doesn't know a flower.

Sweat, malaria, snakes,

the life of the lumberjack.

May nobody ask him

if he knows where God is.

By his house didn't pass

such an important sir.

I sing by the roads,

and when I'm in prision

I hear the voice of the people

that sing better than me.

There's an issue on the Earth

more important than God.

And is that nobody spits blood

for another to live better.

God takes care of the poors?

Maybe yes, maybe not.

But I'm sure he lunches

in the boss table.
