Andres Useche

Si Se Puede Cambiar / Yes We Can Change

Si Se Puede ( Cambiar)

(scroll down for version with English translation)


Si Se Puede ( Cambiar)

Por mucho tiempo hemos dormido
pero con miedo de soñar
Con muchos cinicos diciendo
Nada podremos alcanzar

Pero Si Se Puede/ Si Se Puede /Si Se Puede/Si Se Puede

Hoy cayeron bombas sobre niños
en un ataque aereo al sur de Iraq
Cuantos han muerto por mentiras?
Donde quedo nuestra moral?

Cual fue la causa de esta guerra?
Quien hace dinero de este mal?
Quien voto a favor de esta tragedia?
y quien nos dijo la verdad? (

Con él Si Se Puede/ Si Se Puede cambiar /Si Se Puede/Si Se Puede cambiar

Que nuestros votos tambien cuenten
Todos juntos por la paz
Hay que vencer esta avaricia
Halliburton ya no mas

Porque Si Se Puede/ Si Se Puede cambiar

Y en Katrina que hizo FEMA
ya no mas desigualdad
No mas racismo ni homofobia
Seamos una hermandad

Si se puede / Si se puede alcanzar / Si se puede/ Si se puede cambiar

Cae un puente en Minnesota
En Walter Reed no curan mas
La guerra costara trillones
Es la economia de matar

Si quiero cambiar/ quieres cambiar/ podemos sanar el mundo
Si quiero cambiar/ quieres cambiar/ podemos sanar el mundo
yes we can/ yes we can/ we can change / yes we can

Here's the link to the YouTube video of Si, Se Puede Cambiar
{Yes, We Can Change}


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ky8Hvq-F0U


-snip-

The "Si Se Puede Cambiar" video was added to YouTube on February 22, 2008 by United For Obama. Andres Useche composed the words & music for this song and United For Obama produced the video independent of the Barack Obama for President campaign. However, the primary purpose of the Si Se Puede Cambiar song and video is to promote the campaign of Barack Obama for President among Latinos in Texas and elsewhere.

Here's some comments that I would like to make about this song:

"Si, Se Puede Cambiar" is a moderately slow song that has a beautiful, easy to remember tune. In my opinion, "Si Se Puede Cambiar"'s very powerful lyrics are comparable to classic English language protest songs of the 20th century such as "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" and "If I Had A Hammer". Although "Si Se Puede Cambiar" was composed to support the Presidential candidacy of Senator Barack Obama among Latinos, the lyrics of that song do not mention Barack Obama or any other politician candidate by name.

I expect that "Si Se Puede Cambiar" will soon find its rightful place in English and Spanish language folk song books and in singalong circles throughout the world.

Absolutely. I'm so grateful to Azizi for bringing it to our attention. It got ME out of my post-Edwards funk. My girls and I are off to a voter registration meeting for Obama tonight. Maybe John will show up, too.

I got a nice note from Useche when I asked for the lyrics, and I guess he's pretty damn excited : ) I should have invited him to visit the mudcat! Maybe someone else will? I don't want him to think I'm a stalker : )

That's a good song, and beautifully sung. Set me in mind of Victor Jara, and you can't say better than that.

And a beautifully constructed video as well, Bobby Kennedy and all.
