Rueda la Corona
La Raíz Lyrics

En el tablero un peón y una torre, un alfil, un caballo que corre
On the chessboard, there is a pawn, a rook, a bishop, and a knight in action.

Última fila hay un rey que se ríe y vigila, es en su honor la partida
On the last row of the board, the king is watching and enjoying the game's progress as he is the most important piece of the game.

Blancos y negros, son rojos y azules, siglos de llantos, nieblas, ataúdes
The chessboard with its black and white pieces represents the battle between power and oppressed, with all the suffering and death that it entails, regardless of the colors that the players use to distinguish their pieces.

Caras al sol escondidos en nubes que se acabe ya, coño!
The song urges the end of the existing power struggle and oppression that is causing misery and pain for the people.

Hoy es festivo, hay que hacer jaque a la reina que aún está viva y risueña
Today is a day of celebration, and the song urges people to challenge the queen, who is still alive and well, enjoying her power without regard for the people's suffering.

Hay que romper el tablero, en el exilio los reyes no ganan el juego.
The song encourages people to break free from the current power structure and to create a new way to play the game of power, where the kings and queens in exile will no longer win.

Hoy, hoy soy de todas y todos, hoy es mañana en las mesas de aquellos abuelos
Today, we are all united and equal, and we need to learn from our elders' experiences and create a better tomorrow for everyone.

Hoy puede ser, debe ser la partida, elige piezas que dejen su vida
Today, we have the chance to begin a new game using pieces that are willing to lay down their lives for the freedom and prosperity of the people.

Que traigan, que traigan mañanas y nuevas proclamas
The hope is for a new dawn to bring with it new messages of freedom and equality.

Hay que romper de una vez su ajedrez, yo daría mi vida por retar al rey
The song calls for the end of the current power structure and for people to challenge the king, even if it means risking their lives.

Cuerpo a cuerpo en la tierra abatida
The fight for freedom and equality will be tough and painful, but it is necessary to achieve a better future.

Desfilando va el pueblo, como un vendaval que avanza firme y elegante
The people march forward with confidence and determination, like a storm that cannot be stopped.

Que escupe sangre al chupón y a su herencia, porque su reloj ya no tiene paciencia
The elephant in the song represents the oppressed people who are tired of being used and abused by the powerful. They are ready to fight back and take control of their destiny, as they are running out of time.

Porque hay un peón que no teme a la suerte, que ya conoce la vida llenita de muerte
The song highlights the bravery and determination of the underdog or the oppressed who are not afraid to challenge the king, even though they know the risks involved.

Cada pieza que me coma será un pasito menos
The song encourages people to fight back and take control, one move at a time, even if it means sacrificing some pieces along the way.

Quiero ver esa corona rodando por el tablero
The hope is to end the existing power structure and see the crown fall and replaced by a new system that prioritizes equality and justice.

Y a la vida relamiendo sus heridas
The fight for a better future may be painful and difficult, but it is necessary to heal and move forward for the people's betterment.

Ha nacido una espada forjada por cada palabra por cada milenio de más que estuviste
The song celebrates the emergence of new voices and leaders that are speaking out against the existing power structure after centuries of oppression and silence.

Matando de hambre a tus pueblos, viviendo del chiste
The song highlights how the powerful elites have kept the people in poverty and oppression while benefiting from and mocking their suffering.

Hace tiempo que lo repetimos, aquí elegimos levantar el vuelo
The song emphasizes that there has been a long-standing call for change, and it is time to take action and rise up to bring about the much-needed transformation.
