I, I was never very young I walk like a stranger through this world No, no you don't know me Although I'm with you I'm so far away... But it wasn't the heat that Threw the night into turmoil Put the city in darkness And soldiers on the street But the car Burning up on the roadside For all those in exile Waiting to be released In city Surrounded by slums Invaded by soldiers Invaded by debt Under dictator Who escalates terror Provoking further Intensive civil unrest And in the fear of The nights' disappearances A conspiracy of silence Spread up around us like a wall Between commemoration candles And the twelve o'clock curfew You started to feel less Until you couldn't feel at all Stood on the wrong side Of the barricades in the national strike Then became exile Remember: Soldiers shooting into the crowd at the university Growing up under government Where to be young is to be the enemy Remember: Where soldiers tear gas churches And there's ten thousand missing persons Whose cases are never solved And the government advises not to get involved No Te Metas... Someday we'll return there From the years spent in exile To the land where we were born From the years spent in exile Someday we'll be free there in the land where we were born.
