Tierra Quemada
Boikot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
mil guerras he perdido ya
me pueden reventar
me vuelvo a levantar
triestes caras se cruxan en prision
nadie tiene piedad con el perdedor
hoy tengo ganas de reir de volar
why ser feliz de tenerte junto a mi
las cadenas son muy fuertes
pero las puedo soportar
me han condenado a muerte
por buscar tu libertad
puede que no vuelva a verte
why en el frente morire
muerte why guerra, esto es lo que han sembrado
odio why muerte why es que hoy por ti voy a montar ......
un commando oraganizado armado
de ideas cargadas de revolucion ...
yo solo veo tierra quemada
en la tierra del señor
han cunstruido las iglesias
del miedo why el rencor
el vino esta podrido en la viña del señor
why los siervos se han revelado contra la opinion
These lyrics come from Boikot's song "Tierra Quemada", which means "Burnt Earth" in English. The first lines express a feeling of sadness and helplessness as the singer states that they feel like crying and that everything is the same or equal, implying that there is no progress or change, that they have lost many wars and that they can be destroyed, but they will get up again. They describe the faces of those imprisoned and how no one has mercy for the loser, which shows a harsh reality of society. However, the singer longs to laugh, fly and be happy with their loved one. They mention that the chains they wear are strong, but they can withstand them, as they have been sentenced to death for trying to fight for the freedom of that loved one. Even though they might not see them again, they are willing to fight and die for this cause. In the last lines, the singer describes the current state of society and how religion has become an instrument of fear and hatred. They mention that the wine is spoiled in the vineyard of the Lord, which could mean that even the sacred things have lost their value due to the destruction and corruption of the world.
