Rubén Blades

Rubén Blades Bellido de Luna (Spanish pronunciation: [ruˈβen ˈbleðz]; born July 16, 1948) professionally known as Rubén Blades is a Panamanian salsa singer, songwriter, actor, Latin jazz musician, and activist, performing musically most often in the Afro-Cuban and Latin jazz genres. As songwriter, Blades brought the lyrical sophistication of Central American nueva canción and Cuban nueva trova as well as experimental tempos and politically inspired Nuyorican salsa to his music, creating thinking persons' (salsa) dance music.

Prohibieron ir a la escuela
E ir a la universidad
Prohibieron las garantías
Y el fin constitucional

Prohibieron todas las ciencias
Excepto la militar
Prohibiendo el derecho a queja
Prohibieron el preguntar

Hoy te sugiero, mi hermano
Pa' que no vuelva a pasar
Prohibido olvidar

Prohibido olvidar
Prohibido esperar respuestas
Prohibida la voluntad
Prohibidas las discusiones
Prohibida la realidad

Prohibida la libre prensa
Y prohibido el opinar
Prohibieron la inteligencia
Con un decreto especial

Si tú no usas la cabeza
Otro por ti la va a usar
Prohibido olvidar
Prohibido olvidar

Prohibido el derecho a huelga
Y el aumento salarial
Prohibieron ir a la calle
Y al estado criticar

Prohibieron reírse del chiste
De su triste gobernar
Prohibieron el desarrollo
Del futuro nacional

Yo creo que la única forma
De darle a esto un final es
Prohibido olvidar
Prohibido olvidar

Prohibidos los comentarios
Sin "Visto bueno" oficial
Prohibieron el rebelarse
Contra la mediocridad

Prohibieron las elecciones
Y la esperanza popular
Y prohibieron la conciencia
Al prohibirnos el pensar

Si tú crees en tu bandera
Y crees en la libertad
Prohibido olvidar
Prohibido olvidar

Pobre del país donde
Lo malo controla donde
El civil se enamora de la corrupción

Pobre del país alienado
Por la droga porque una mente
Que afloja, pierde la razón

Pobre del país
Que con la violencia crea
Que puede matar
La idea de su liberación

Pobre del país
Que ve la justicia hecha añicos
Por la voluntad del rico
O por orden militar

Cada nación depende
Del corazón de su gente
Y a un país que no se vende
Nadie lo podrá comparar

No te olvides
