Vándalo
Ska-P Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A todos los caídos, a los detenidos, a los que resisten en pie
A todos mis hermanos que nunca han callado, que no se han dejado vencer
Los que han sido humillados, a los que han golpeado las fuerzas de seguridad
Los que siempre han sabido que hay gato encerrado en este sistema global

Vándalo, te hacen llamar vándalo, peligro social, vándalo
Rebelde insurrecto, preparado para la batalla
A los que se dejan la piel, a los que nunca ha podido entender
Cómo cayó en la red de la codicia todo el poder
A los insurgentes que contracorriente exigen justicia social
Y me da igual de dónde sean, no hay distancia, no hay fronteras
A una conciencia firme nada puede parar

Llegará, llegará, llegará, la balanza se equilibrará
Llegará, llegará, llegará

Ah, Ah, Ah, el redil es nuestro patíbulo

Alarma, neoliberalismo es hambruna, muerte y terrorismo
Alarma, neoliberalismo, prepárate

Por los oprimidos, desfavorecidos, a los que se deja morir
Sus barrigas hinchadas, la muerte en sus caras por un interés mercantil
Y ahora tú debes de meditar ¿Quién es el vándalo en realidad?
Terrorismo de estado, opulento y armado, decide quién debe vivir

Vándalo, te hacen llamar vándalo, peligro social, vándalo
Rebelde insurrecto, las cosas no se cambian desde tu sillón

Llegará, llegará, llegará, la balanza se equilibrará
Llegará, llegará, llegará el día de la victoria

Ah, Ah, Ah, el redil es nuestro patíbulo




Alarma, el neoliberalismo es hambruna, muerte y terrorismo
Alarma, el neoliberalismo, prepárate.

Overall Meaning

The song Vándalo by Ska-P is a powerful anthem for all those who stand up against oppressive systems and fight for justice. The opening lines express solidarity with those who have fallen, been detained or resisted, while also condemning the forces of security that have humiliated and beaten them. The song praises those who have never been silenced and assert their resilience despite all odds. The song also points out the hidden agendas of the dominant global system which has caused much inequality and strife in the world.


The song celebrates the spirit of rebellion against authority and the struggle for social justice. The refrain "Vándalo, te hacen llamar vándalo, peligro social, vándalo" (they call you a vandal, social danger, vandal) is directed towards those who have been labeled as troublemakers and outcasts by the powers that be. The song exalts the virtues of insurrection and being prepared for battle. It encourages people to keep fighting for what is right, even if it means sacrificing their own comfort or safety.


The song also warns of the dangers of neoliberalism which has brought hunger, death and terrorism to many parts of the world. The lyrics call for people to meditate on who the real vandals are in today's world, and to resist the terrorism of the state which seeks to control and oppress. The song concludes with the hope that the scales will be balanced and victory will come, but only if people are willing to fight relentlessly against the neoliberal system.
