Sangre Americana
Bacilos Lyrics
Yo tengo sangre Americana
De una merica que estaba antes del nombre
De patria, de bandera escusas why mentiras
Tengo rasgos de una realidad
Que no sale ni en telenovelas, ni se ve en publicidad
Yo tengo sangre Americana
De la que mas derrama pa' escribir
La historia americana como el viejo Chief Seattle
Como todos los soldados razos
Que se mueren viendo morir esta tierra
Esto no va a pasar, esto no va cambiar
Esto no va a dejar de ser una comedia
La comedia del que no se quiere
Esto no va a pasar, esto no va cambiar
Porque no hay un disparo que pueda borrar la historia
Que nos corre por las venas
Yo me doy cuenta cuando entro
A algun club de sociedad o tienda fina
O en la fila de una discoteca de que
Yo tengo sangre Americana
Como el puma, como el condor
Como el aguila del gran escudo
Se que no debo decirlo
Pero debo decirlo, al menos decirlo
Subsiste, respira mi sangre Americana
Esto no va a pasar, esto no va a cambiar
Esto no va a dejar de ser una tragedia
La tragedia del que no se quiere
Esto no va a pasar, esto no va a sanar
Porque no hay un disparo que pueda borrar la historia
Que nos corre por las venas
Se que no debo decirlo
Al menos decirte mi sangre Americana
Esto no va a pasar, esto no va a sanar
Porque no hay un disparo que pueda borrar la historia
Que nos corre por las venas

Recuerdo cuando viví en usa y escuchaba a diario ésta cancion, extrañando la patria y nuestra cultura, se me llenaba el pecho de orgullo y algunas lágrimas en los ojos, que viva América (la de verdad)!!
ALESSIO ALEJANDRO VASQUEZ LOARTE

Simplemente bello, gran identidad de los latinoamericanos, tenemos Sangre Americana, saludos desde Huancayo Perú
Erick Arturo Juárez Méndez
Orgullosamente hispano, quien no sabe su pasado esta destinado a repetirlo.
La grandesa del pasado no solo esta en los mayas o mixtecas también la Nueva España fue maravillosamente grande.
David Cardeño
Son los animales representativos de cada país latinoamericano. Todos juntos forman el gran escudo: el escudo latinoamericano.
