Lyrics
English
Night falls and the crew gets ready
They swear tonight your time is up
Time has passed in this dirty game
Maybe luck is on your side after all
Night after night, they follow your trace
Tonight your safe, tomorrow who knows
One by one, they’ll be caught
Listen my words, stop searching for them
Turn your back, just keep looking straight
There’s an ambush waiting at your step
One by one, they’ll be caught
Watch your back,
If she finds you she’ll put a price tag on you
Your dreams destroyed without any mercy
The game will is over and you’ll go to jail
Spanish
Va caer la noche ellos ya se alistan
juran que esta noche te van a atrapar
ya ha pasado el tiempo en este sucio juego
pueda que la suerte esté ya en tu favor
Noche tras noche, siguen tras de ti
hoy día te salvas, mañana no sé
todos van cayendo
Por eso te digo deja de buscarla
baja la cabeza, no mires atrás
Das un paso el falso ellos al acecho
es solo tu cuerpo, tu alma jamás
CORO
Cuida tus espaldas
Si ella te ubica te pone precio
Sin piedad viene y destruye sueños
Se acaba el juego y te lleva preso
Story
“Cuida tus Espaldas” is a song on which we turned right to our folkloric roots, exploring with Afro-Andean caporal rhythm and western elements to create a danceable anthem to denounce social injustice. In the lyrics we send a message of hope, to all those immigrants who feel they have been unjustly targeted by ICE by reminding them that they must stay alert, look over the shoulders and watch their backs and no matter what, if they’re physically removed, it’s only their bodies they take, but never their soul.
