Un violador en tu camino (A rapist in your path)

Click here to watch the how-to video with English lyrics.


 

Un violador en tu camino

[Keep arms loose at your side, march in place to the beat for the first eight verses]
El patriarcado es un juez
que nos juzga por nacer,
y nuestro castigo
es la violencia que no ves.

El patriarcado es un juez
que nos juzga por nacer,
y nuestro castigo
es la violencia que ya ves.

Es femicidio.
[Place hands behind the head, squat up and down]
Impunidad para mi asesino.
[Repeat movement above]
Es la desaparición.
[Repeat movement above]
Es la violación.
[Repeat movement above]

[Run in place, but without lifting feet from the ground; move forearms up and down in sync with the feet]
Y la culpa no era mía, ni dónde estaba ni cómo vestía.
Y la culpa no era mía, ni dónde estaba ni cómo vestía.
Y la culpa no era mía, ni dónde estaba ni cómo vestía.
Y la culpa no era mía, ni dónde estaba ni cómo vestía.

El violador eras tú.
[Extend LEFT arm straight out in front of you, pointing]
El violador eres tú.
[Repeat movement above]

Son los pacos,
[Use LEFT arm to point behind you]
los jueces,
[Use LEFT arm to point in front of you]
el Estado,
[Raise arms, pointing in circle around the head]
el Presidente.
[Cross forearms above the head]

[Use LEFT arm and pump a closed fist]
El Estado opresor es un macho violador.
El Estado opresor es un macho violador.

El violador eras tú.
[Extend left arm straight out in front of you, pointing]
El violador eres tú.
[Repeat movement above]

[Cup LEFT hand around mouth to amplify shouting]
Duerme tranquila, niña inocente,
sin preocuparte del bandolero,
que por tu sueño dulce y sonriente
vela tu amante carabinero.

El violador eres tú.
[Extend LEFTt arm straight out in front of you, pointing]
El violador eres tú.
[repeat movement above]
El violador eres tú.
[repeat movement above]
El violador eres tú.
[repeat movement above]

A rapist in your path 

[Keep arms loose at your side, march in place to the beat for the first eight verses]

Patri-archy is our judge
That imprisons us at birth
And our punishment
Is the violence you DON’T see.

Patri-archy is our judge
That imprisons us at birth
And our punishment
Is the violence you CAN see.

It's femicide.
[Place hands behind the head, squat up and down]
Impu-nity for my killer.
[Repeat movement above]
It’s our disappearances.
[Repeat movement above]
It’s rape!
[Repeat movement above]

[March in place, but without lifting feet from the ground; move forearms up and down in sync with]

And it's not my fault, not where I was, not how I dressed.
And it's not my fault, not where I was, not how I dressed.
And it's not my fault, not where I was, not how I dressed.
And it's not my fault, not where I was, not how I dressed.


And the rapist WAS you

[Extend LEFT arm straight out in front of you, pointing]
And the rapist IS you

[Extend LEFT arm straight out in front of you, pointing]

Its the cops,

[Use LEFT arm to point behind you]
It’s The judges,

[Use LEFT arm to point in front of you]
It’s The system,

[Raise arms, pointing in circle around the head]
It’s The president.

[Cross forearms above the head forming an X]

This oppressive state is a macho rapist.
[Use LEFT arm and pump a closed fist]

This oppressive state is a macho rapist.

[Use LEFT arm and pump a closed fist]

El violador eres tú.
[Extend LEFT arm straight out in front of you, pointing]
El violador eres tú.
[repeat movement above]
El violador eres tú.
[repeat movement above]
El violador eres tú.
[repeat movement above]
