My Personal Revenge Lyrics - Jackson Browne

(English Translation by Jorge Calderon) 

My personal revenge will be the right 

Of our children in the schools and in the gardens 

My personal revenge will be to give you 

This song which has flourished without panic 

My personal revenge will be to show you 

The kindness in the eyes of my people 

Who have always fought relentlessly in battle 

And been generous and firm in victory

My personal revenge will be to tell you good morning 

On a street without beggars or homeless 

When instead of jailing you I suggest 

You shake away the sadness there that blinds you 

And when you who have applied your hands in torture 

Are unable to look up at what surrounds you 

My personal revenge will be to give you 

These hands that once you so mistreated 

But have failed to take away their tenderness 

It was the people who hated you the most 

When rage became the language of their song 

And underneath the skin of this town today 

Its heart has been scarred forevermore

It was the people who hated you the most 

When rage became the language of their song 

And underneath the skin of this town today 

Its heart has been scarred forevermore 

And underneath the skin of this town today 

Red and black, its heart's been scarred 

Forevermore
