Taken from the album: Canciones para el hombre nuevo [1968].
This is a personal tribute to a great Uruguayan artist: Daniel Viglietti. I grew up listening to this, and other inspiring music from a golden generation of Uruguayan artists, who, during the '60s and '70s, dreamed of a better world, than the one they saw around them. By uploading this song, I want to share this wonderful piece of cultural heritage with the rest of the world, and give people of all countries, colors and creeds, a chance to discover it. I also want to thank my dad, for introducing me to this, 'his' music, from a very early age. I'll always be in debt with him.
Lyrics, a translation:
"I ask the attendees
If you ever realised
That his land is ours,
and not of whom has deep pockets.
I wonder if you ever gave it a thought
that if the hands are ours, then so is that
which theyprovide us with.
Bring down those barbed wires
Bring down those barbed wires!
Because the land is ours,
is yours, is theirs
It's of Pedro, of Maria,
of Juan, and of José."
If someone out there
Doesn't like what I'm singing
You can be sure it's a gringo
or a owner of Uruguay.
Bring down those barbed wires
Bring down those barbed wires!
Because the land is ours,
is yours, is theirs
It's of Pedro, of Maria,
of Juan, and of José."
