A.F.A.R.
Wednesday May 3rd, 2023 with Carolyn Harris
This week, we'll be listening to some songs by vegan musicians and bands, including Futuro Vegan Pop, Vegan Queen V, Katie Veg, David Giardina, Greg Genre, the best-selling author Will Tuttle, and the abolitionist vegan advocate Gülce Özen Gürkan.
Here are the English translations of the Spanish lyrics to the songs by Futuro Vegan Pop. I found these translations on Futuro Vegan Pop's bandcamp site: https://futuroveganpop.bandcamp.com/album/conexion
No soy un juguete (I’m not a toy)
Start thinking that I’m not a soft toy
I have a heart
stop raising me for your satisfaction
don’t try to hunt me for your pleasure,
I’m not a trophy
stop taking away the skin that cover me
I’m not a toy, don´t buy me anymore,
I’m not an ornament, don´t use me anymore
I’m not silence, listen to me
I scream of anger, I demand respect

Mataderos (Slaughterhouses)
You should see the blood, you should listen to them
their cries are imprinted on the slaughterhouse walls
They want to escape to break from their prison
Will their lives always be the same?
there they are imprisoned
among cries of pain that scream: Injustice!
As children we are taught their lives are for our use
these are speciesist lies that dictate how we act
They can feel, like I can
they can suffer, like I can
they are my equal
they have interests too
They can feel, like you can
they can suffer, life you can
they are your equal, they have interests too
