That “cry of the poor” in Argentina is very faint as it is less than 5%..
... Argentinians are nothing but a nation that symbolizes failure.

(Chile beat Argentina on penalties 4-1, winning the Copa América.)

And this is from the Head of the richest church in the world, the phrase “ Put your money where your mouth is ” springs to mind.

And the poor are poor and will remain poor unless the Catholic Church releases its US$ billions to reduce poverty. The Catholic Church is the richest Church in the world. ACTION SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.

Burn the heretic, throw off the yolk of an alien episcopal domination.

Become free Protestant men and never look back.

the pope demanded swift action to save the planet from ruin

then promptly gets on a plane spitting all that crap into the air and polluting it,

that's what I like, a man who leads by example...

Did you understand what they were singing without looking at the subtitles: it was in ENGLISH, not second rate Jibber-Jabber such as Portuguese and especially not Jibber Jabber itself.

Nice song though off a great album.

Have you seen God lately? No, I didn't think so.

The poetic meaning of words is lost. Left the melody. Even subtitles compensate for the loss of poetry.

We survived!
