The patriarchy is a judge, who judges us for being born and our punishment is the violence you do not see
The patriarchy is a judge, who judges us for being born and our punishment is the violence you can see
It is femicide, impunity for my murderer
It is disappearance, it is rape
And the fault was not mine, nor where I was, nor how I was dressed
And the fault was not mine, nor where I was, nor how I was dressed
And the fault was not mine, nor where I was, nor how I was dressed
And the fault was not mine, nor where I was, nor how I was dressed
You were the rapist
You are the rapist
The police, the judges
The state, the president
The oppressor state is a macho rapist
The oppressor state is a macho rapist
You were the rapist
You are the rapist
Sleep peacefully, innocent girl, without worrying about the bandit
Over your dreams smiling and sweet, watches your loving policeman
You were the rapist
You were the rapist
You are the rapist
You are the rapist.
