Y nunca dejaron de bailar, por eso gracias a su fuerza llegó la hora, alguien en el poder político escuchó y se hizo eco de su añejo pedido y empezamos a vivir aires de Justicia. Soplan otros vientos querido pais!! y ellas ya no bailan solas, no señor, todo un pueblo las abraza y pide cárcel común para los culpables del golpe civico-militar.
Die Frauen die da tanzen sind argentinische "Madres de Plaza de Mayo" (Die Mutter auf Plaza de Mayo) und "Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo" (Grossmutter auf Plaza de Mayo) sie sind Mutter und Grossmutter von "Desaparecidos" die Leute die Junta Militar gemördert 30.000 in Argentinien von 1976 bis 1983
A sample of the lyrics... Hey Mr. Pinochet You've sown a bitter crop It's foreign money that supports you One day the money's going to stop No wages for your torturers No budget for your guns Can you think of your own mother Dancing with her invisible son They're dancing with the missing They're dancing with the dead They dance with the invisible ones Their anguish is unsaid
Written after Sting saw a brief news story about women dancing in the streets of Chile torn apart by the Pinochet regime. The women were dancing in the streets with pictures of their husbands, fathers, brothers or sons pinned to their clothes or they were holding the pictures and dancing with them. It was their only form of protest on behalf of the people they had lost.
On 11 September 1973 Pinochet assumed power and ended Salvador Allende's democratically elected Popular Unity government. Pinochet established a military dictatorship marked by severe human rights violations that ruled Chile until 1990.
I didn't understand what this song was about until I looked it up as I speak only English. Here's what I found.
General Augusto Pinochet one of the most controversial figures in the history of Chile, was head of the military junta that ruled Chile from 1973 to 1990.
En Don Quijote se oye la voz del Quijote decir a Sancho: "Ladran luego cabalgamos Sancho", Gracias Sting por tu música tu calidad humana y tu sinceridad, Un fuerte abrazo desde España de corazón-

Another shameful chapter in our history...The beacon of hope so afraid of socialists that they engineer the installation of a murderer.
May Pinochet and the people who made him possible, rot in hell for all eternity.
