THE CHANTS AT THE RALLY AT THE PRESI- dent’s mansion right after the 1985 earthquake in-
cluded these pungent little rhymes:
iGobierno, corrupto,
por ti estamos de luto!
(Government, you thieves,
For you we all must grieve!)
iQue el gobierno entienda:
Primero es la vivienda!
(Get it straight, state:
For housing we can’t wait!)
And, finally:
iY d6nde estd la ayuda, que el mundo nos mand6?
iNo se hagan pendejos, el PRI se la ching6!
(So where is all the aid
The world has sent us, pray?
Don’t try to bullshit us
The PRI’s fucked it away!)
