5. The chant in English

Patri-archy is our judge
That imprisons us at birth
And our punishment
Is the violence you DON’T see.

Patri-archy is our judge
That imprisons us at birth
And our punishment
Is the violence you CAN see.

It's femicide.
Impu-nity for my killer.
It’s rape!

And it's not my fault, not where I was, not how I dressed.
And it's not my fault, not where I was, not how I dressed.
And it's not my fault, not where I was, not how I dressed.
And it's not my fault, not where I was, not how I dressed.

And the rapist WAS you
And the rapist IS you
Its the cops,
It’s The judges,
It’s The system,
It’s The president.
This oppressive state is a macho rapist.
This oppressive state is a macho rapist.
El violador eres tú.
El violador eres tú.
El violador eres tú.
El violador eres tú.
