lyrics

STOLEN

De su país llegó hace dieciséis años

Separada de su esposo hace seis años más

Entonces comenzó su labor

Para aquellos cuyas fortunas son robadas

Ella preparaba en sus cocinas las comidas de donde venía

Le saquearon sus horas, su salario, sus recuerdos del sol

Ahora viene esta ola de muerte

Llena la red de los que nos han robado

Hace diez meses, su pareja se convirtió en deportada

Mientras nuestros camaradas estén amenazados, ninguno de nosotros es libre

El poder no se da, sino que se toma

Unidos, recuperamos lo que nos han robado

STOLEN

From her country she arrived sixteen years ago
Parting ways with her husband six more years ago
So began her labor
For those whose fortunes are stolen, stolen, stolen

She prepared in their kitchens the meals from where she’d come
They plundered her hours, her wages, her memories of the sun
Now comes this wave of death
Filling the net of those who have stolen, stolen, stolen

Ten months ago, her partner became a deportee
As long as our comrades are threatened, none of us are free
Power is not given but taken
United, we take back what was stolen, stolen, stolen
