El Oso/The bear - Mauricio Birabent Moris

The bear is a song that was originally intended for children, then became an icon of freedom in Argentina in the 70s. The dictatorship that ruled the country at the time, considered "subversive" message that your handwriting taught to society.
Lyric: The Bear

I lived in the forest, very happy, walked and walked steadily,
Mornings and afternoons were mine, and at night I lay to rest.
But one day the man came to their cages, locked me and took me to the city.
In the circus stunts taught me, and so I lost my beloved freedom ...
Be satisfied, "said an old tiger, never the roof and the food shortage,
Just call us to do the stunts, and children can brighten ...

four years have passed from this life,
with the circus toured the world as well.
but I could never quite forget, my forest, my evenings and myself.

In a remote village, someone did not close the padlock,
was a moonless night, and I left the city!

Now I walk the floor and my forest
Again the green freedom!
I'm old, but the afternoons are mine, I return to forest
I'm really happy!

You find this song "subversive"? You see the degree of thought that existed at that time.
