Donvict is not putting pressure on Venezuela as the US corporate

Continue to say.
He is threatening to invade a sovereign nation to control its oil.
Can we get this right for a change.
Venezuela hasn’t threatened the US at all. On the contrary - this is typical gun boat imperialism.
Cut the shit media.

Letra de "Perdóneme tío Juan"]

[Estrofa 1]
Perdóneme, tío Juan
Pero se ve que no sabe nada
Las cosas que yo le digo
Se sienten en carne propia
Que en tierra venezolana
El imperialismo yankee
Hace lo que le da la gana

[Estrofa 2]
Es que usté no se ha paseado
Por un campo petrolero
Usté no ve que se llevan
Lo que es de nuestra tierra
Y solo nos van dejando
Miseria y sudor de obrero
Y solo nos van dejando
Miseria y sudor de obrero

[Estrofa 3]
Los niñitos macilentos
Que habitan allá en los cerros
Más que vivir agonizan
Entretejiendo sus sueños
Más que vivir agonizan
Entretejiendo sus sueños

[Estrofa 4]
Contésteme, tío Juan
No se me quede callado
Conteste si no hay razón
En que sigamos luchando
Por echar de nuestra Patria
Al yankee que nos la quita
Y al lacayo que lo tapa

[Estrofa 5]
Es que usté no se ha fijao
Lo que pasa con el hierro
Nos pagan la tonelada
Por menos de tres centavos
¡Vamos a pelear, carajo!
O nos quedamos sin cerro
¡Vamos a pelear, carajo!
O nos quedamos sin cerro

[Estrofa 6]
No te dejes engañar
Cuando te hablen de progreso
¿Por qué tú te quedas flaco
Y ellos aumentan de peso?
¿Por qué tú te quedas flaco
Y ellos aumentan de peso?
[Instrumental]

[Estrofa 7]
Contésteme, tío Juan
No se me quede callado
Conteste si no hay razón
En que sigamos luchando
Por echar de nuestra Patria
Al yankee que nos la quita
Y al lacayo que lo tapa

[Estrofa 8]
Es que usté no se ha paseado
Por un campo petrolero
Usté no ve que se llevan
Lo que es de nuestra tierra
Y solo nos van dejando
Miseria y sudor de obrero
Y solo nos van dejando
Miseria y sudor de obrero

Más que vivir agonizan
Entretejiendo sus sueños
Más que vivir agonizan
Entretejiendo sus sueños

Lyrics to "Forgive Me, Uncle Juan"

[Verse 1]
Forgive me, Uncle Juan
But it's clear you know nothing
The things I tell you
Are felt in my own flesh
That in Venezuelan soil
Yankee imperialism
Does whatever it pleases

[Verse 2]
Haven't you ever walked
Through an oil field?
Don't you see they take
What belongs to our land?
And they only leave us
Misery and the sweat of laborers
And they only leave us
Misery and the sweat of laborers

[Verse 3]
The emaciated little children

[Verse 4]
Answer me, Uncle Juan
Don't stay silent
Answer if there's no reason
For us to keep fighting
To expel from our homeland
The Yankee who takes it from us
And the lackey who covers for him

[Verse 5]
Haven't you noticed
What's happening with the iron?
They pay us a ton
For less than three cents!
Let's fight, damn it!

Or we'll be left without a mountain!
Let's fight, damn it!

Or we'll be left without a mountain!

[Verse 6]
Don't be fooled
When they talk to you about progress
Why are you getting thin
And they're getting heavier?

Why are you getting thin
And they're getting heavier?

[Instrumental]

[Verse 7]
Answer me, Uncle Juan
Don't stay silent
Answer if there's no reason
For us to keep fighting
To drive from our homeland
The Yankee who steals it from us
And the lackey who covers for him

[Verse 8]
Haven't you ever walked
Through an oil field?
Don't you see they're taking
What belongs to our land?
And leaving us with nothing but
Misery and the sweat of laborers
And leaving us with nothing but
Misery and the sweat of laborers

[Verse 9]
The emaciated little children
Who live up in the hills
More than living, they're dying
Weaving their dreams
More than living, they're dying
Weaving their dreams

The emaciated little children
who live right there in the hills
but not living rather agonizing
sewing their dreams together (2x)

Sorry about those ads that popped in!
