lyrics

December fourth
Was a day we won't forget
The same spirit raised against
the oppression based in their lies
this shiny day our people took the streets again
reclaiming freedom, land and peace
like we did too many times

Under the sun of our old land there's a people who always laugh

We’ve been conquered, subjugated
Can you hear it?
We’ve been controlled and put down - we never ceased to laugh
Under control and dominated
can you see it? we wanna see our dignity restored

Still asking for freedom
Still asking for land
we'll keep on fighting - we'll never cease to laugh
TO LAUGH!

Thousands of years of history
Through the Ocean and the Sea
From the desert to the fields
Tartessic roots, African taste
We just wanna see our dignity restored.


under the sun of our old land there's a people who always laugh
a spirit that remains

WE’RE STILL HERE
We’ll keep on fighting
WE’RE STILL HERE

Break!

"In december 4th of 1977 the people from Andalusia (South of the Spanish State) performed a big protest reclaiming more autonomy.That day the Spanish guard killed a man while he tried to hang an Andalusian flag in the Malaga city council. As Andalusians, we've seen how our culture, language and identity has been mistreated, ridiculed and denied since centuries, especially by the Spanish nationalism. Nevertheless, even oppressed, our people never forgot about laughing or spreading its particular optimistic way of living. We just want to show respect to our sociocultural identity and put it in the place it deserves"

"El 4 de Diciembre de 1977 el pueblo andaluz salió al a calle para reclamar más autonomía. Ese día la policía armada española disparó y mató a un sindicalista malagueño mientras trataba de colgar una bandera andaluza. Como andaluces, hemos visto como nuestra cultura, nuestro lengua y nuestra identidad ha sido maltratada, ridiculizada y negada desde hace siglos, especialmente por el nacionalismo español. No obstante, incluso oprimido, el pueblo andaluz nunca ha dejado de sonreir y de exportar su particular modo de vida optimista. Con esta canción solo queremos rendir tributo a nuestra indentidad socioculturar -que no nación, ya que no creemos en ninguna- y poner al pueblo andaluz en el sitio que se merece: ni arriba ni abajo de ningún otro pueblo"
