República III
La Gran Orquesta Republicana Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nuestra república está en nuestra imaginación.
Nuestra república no tiene ningún color.
Nuestra república no tiene presidente.
Nuestra república no tiene políticos.
Nuestra republica es imposible.

Nuestra república no tiene presos
no tiene ejercito, no tiene armas.

Nuestra república no tiene fronteras.
Quizá algún día sea posible pero hoy
nuestra republica es imposible.

Y no pasará, que todo se cambie
y que no cambie nada.

Salga la luna o salga el sol,
no tiene solución
