#Y PUESTOS A HACER EDITS CON CANCIONES EN ESPAÑOL PUES-

[cuchufletapl]

I wish I knew how to edit because I'd make an Arcane AMV set to Rueda la corona by La Raíz that you wouldn't fucking believe.

For the record, this is the song:

And these are the lyrics in English:

(I did not try to keep the rhyme and I included some footnotes explaining the more obscure references. This is a very political song.)

On the board, there's a pawn and a rook, a bishop, a horse running A laughing king watching over from the last row, the match is in his honour Black and white, they're red and blue*, centuries of tears, fog, coffins Sun-facing faces** hiding behind clouds Make it fucking end! Today's a holiday, we gotta put the queen on checkmate, 'cause she's still alive and well We gotta break the board, kings don't win games in exile Today, today I belong to all of you, today is the tomorrow at those elders' tables Today the match can, must happen Choose the pieces that will risk their lives We play checkers today too, we gotta set the castle on fire, let the flames bring a tomorrow Let them, let them bring a tomorrow and new proclamations We must break their chess board at last I'd give my life to challenge the king Hand-to-hand on the beaten earth

(Spoken) Look, the king's always king Everyone will always be what they were Except for... Except for the pawns

The people come marching in, like a gale pushing forward, firm and elegant And cutting through on the front lines, like a general, there's an elephant***, an elephant Who spits blood at the leech and his heirs, because his clock isn't patient anymore Because there's a pawn who doesn't fear fate, who knows a life full of death

We play checkers today too, we gotta set the castle on fire, let the flames bring a tomorrow Let them, let them bring a tomorrow and new proclamations We must break their chess board at last I'd give my life to challenge the king Hand-to-hand on the beaten earth Every piece I take from you is one step forward I want that crown tumbling onto the board And life licking its wounds (x2) A sword is born, forged by every word, every extra millenium you existed Starving your people, living off a fallacy There's a choice to be made now and forever, and we move Being a pawn isn't something you choose We've been repeating it for a while Here we choose to take flight

Everyone will always be what they were Except for the pawns

Every piece I take from you is one step forward I want that crown tumbling onto the board And life licking its wounds (x5)

*Blue has been tied to Spanish fascism since its beginnings because the members of the Falange Española de la JONS, the historical fascist party in Spain, wore blue shirts. Red obviously references the left, particularly the republican army during the Spanish Civil War. Currently, the right-wing Partido Popular is associated with blue, while the centre-left Partido Socialista Obrero Español is associated with red.

**"Sun-facing faces" references Cara al sol, the anthem of the Falange Española de la JONS.

***I'm??? pretty sure??? that this is a reference to the fact that a well-known hobby of the previous king, Juan Carlos de Borbón, is big-game hunting in Africa. He's been known to hunt elephants specifically.
