Ricardo Arjona – Si El Norte Fuera El Sur Lyrics 19 years ago
This is a rough translation:


The north, it's mcdonalds, basketball and rock&roll
it's topless it's madonas and stallone's abdomen
tanning intellectuals, supermarket scholars
they have everything but have paid nothing

With 18 you're a kid for a drink in a bar
but you're a full man for war and murder
hurray for vietnam and hurray for forrest gump
hurray for wall street and hurray for donald trump
hurray for the 7-11

They dust their noses and carry siringes in their pockets
They travel with marijuana to understand the situation
of this judge of the planet which sends an invitation
cut it off to your husband and you'll gain a reputation

Chorus:

Stars and stripes take ahold of my flag
and our freedom is nothing more than a whore
and if the outside debt stole our freedom
to hell with geography, no more frontiers

If the north was the south the sioux would be the margined
being brown and short would be the most attractive look
Marcos would be the mexican rambo
and cyndy crawford the menchú of my friends
reagan would be Somoza

Fidel would be an athlete running stocks in wall street
and the che would do double meat burgers
yankees of illegals to tijuana
and the boats from miami to habana
if the north was the south

We'd be the same or perhaps a little worse
with the maldines by greenland
and a disneyland in Guatemala
and a Simon Bolivar breaking his secret
Here goes prop. 187, out go the yankees by decree

Chrous 2x

If the north was the south, it would be the same crap
i'd sing some rap and this song wouldn't exist.
