El Ignorante
Callejeros Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cuando ignoramos, ignoramos hasta la ignorancia
Ignorancia que volvió a lastimar
El ignorante soporta maldades
Falsedades que ignoran la verdad

Lo van boqueando los otros ignorantes
que no entienden del perdón como cobardes
y el corazón junta valor ignorando lo que tiene que ignorar
Valorando la libertad
más unidos que cautivos podemos aguantar
la sociedad nos va a ignorar con rompiendo asi nuestra realidad

Aprendiendo de toda esta ignorancia, ignoramos lo que va a venir
sin ignorar la honestidad que por suerte enseña un poco más
ignorar a los que ignoran es igual odiar tu fusilo mi venganza
no demuestra dignidad no ignorar a Jesús, a una paloma,
no ignorar al policía que traiciona ignorar tu identidad
es ignorar mi alma sin paz

Así es que ignoro aquel
que lo crea aquel que mi dolor no vea ni quiera ver
si la Luna y sus estrellas o en el sol encuentro fuerza
y en tus manos el amor y en tu abrazo encuentro eso que llaman Dios

Siendo ignorante entro de un pueblo ciego sin mas valor
que la televisión, ahi presidentes en la sarillo que prometen cielos
Y luego cumplen con su propia salvación
Ignorar nuestro presente, nuestra historia
Ignorar cuando nos mienten y nos roban

Ignorar nuestra ignorancia fue lo que nos trajo acá
A sufrir hasta sangrar la consecuencias
Que ser juez y parte de ignorada
inconsciencia hasta el momento en que el destino fue nuestro final

Sentencia de una idea sin felicidad repetida secuencia
de la ciencia de perder las cosas importantes de verdad
Saber o no saber vos no sos el que lo ves elegir
Pero ausente de tus propios sueños no se puede vivir, no
Ni tampoco te podés caer bajo el pie del que saquea sembrando miedo
Como sistema, durmiendo al anhelo con la tragedia haciendo cárceles en tu cabeza




Ser ignorante no te exime, pero tampoco te convierte en un traidor
El ignorante no solo ignora su ignorancia, también ignora su perdón.
