Delgadillo Fernando
Deviations from the Informal Song
Not Forgotten
I don't know if it is because it is after the month of independence
That declared patriots take with indifference
It is excluded of the calendar, of the official dates
But October 2 has never lacked such honors
Closed of the celebrations with which September is then dressed
It comes to distance the people from their leaders
And then we do begin to take our bows
And the memory is activated, the old stories return
And there are those who speak of respect for a power that they provoked
That if there were dead students, it was because they earned it
And in the face of this I have questioned whether someone can win
That another denies him the right to breathe again
That they deprive him of everything, his future and his memories
br/>For the unforgivable offense that he does not live according national day that no life was spared
For this and for those who are missing
October 2 is not forgotten
What for some served as a weed trimming
Among the great Most of it is only a reason for shame
But there are those who raised their fist at something unacceptable
Because the blow was very high and became incontestable
Today at last it is not my intention to rekindle old ashes
Although it is always regretted that justice was not done
And that the stained hands continue to be well hidden
Among those who come and go who above all close ranks
And October is dirty by a day of massacre in the great plaza
From which so many boys never returned home
October 2 in Tlatelolco continues to be present
Round in squares and rallies
Terrific and forceful
Because it is the national day that life is not spared
For this and for those who are missing
October 2 is not forgotten
I ask when evoking the wounds that never close
br/>When will October 2nd stop haunting the earth?
