Bruce Springsteen ha lanzado una nueva y contundente canción, “Streets of Minneapolis”, que aborda los enfrentamientos entre ICE y los manifestantes en la ciudad, a la vez que rinde homenaje a Renee Good y Alex Pretti.
La canción, cuyo estribillo reza “Recordaremos los nombres de aquellos que murieron / En las calles de Minneapolis”, también critica duramente a “el ejército privado del DHS del Rey Trump / Con armas sujetas a sus abrigos”, y lamenta la muerte de “Dos personas dejadas a morir en calles cubiertas de nieve / Alex Pretti y Renee Good”. Springsteen no se anda con rodeos, y la canción refleja la gravedad de la situación.
En un comunicado, el artista explicó: “Escribí esta canción el sábado, la grabé ayer y la publico hoy en respuesta al terror estatal que se está ejerciendo sobre la ciudad de Minneapolis. Está dedicada a la gente de Minneapolis, a nuestros vecinos inmigrantes inocentes y en memoria de Alex Pretti y Renee Good. ¡Manténganse libres!”

Letra de “Streets of Minneapolis” de Bruce Springsteen:
Through the winter’s ice and cold
Down Nicollet Avenue
A city aflame fought fire and ice
‘Neath an occupier’s boots
King Trump’s private army from the DHS
Guns belted to their coats
Came to Minneapolis to enforce the law
Or so their story goes
Against smoke and rubber bullets
By the dawn’s early light
Citizens stood for justice
Their voices ringing through the night
And there were bloody footprints
Where mercy should have stood
And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets
Alex Pretti and Renee Good
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of ’26
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
Trump’s federal thugs beat up on
His face and his chest
Then we heard the gunshots
And Alex Pretti lay in the snow, dead
Their claim was self defense, sir
Just don’t believe your eyes
It’s our blood and bones
And these whistles and phones
Against Miller and Noem’s dirty lies
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Crying through the bloody mist
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
Now they say they’re here to uphold the law
But they trample on our rights
If your skin is black or brown my friend
You can be questioned or deported on sight
In chants of ICE out now
Our city’s heart and soul persists
Through broken glass and bloody tears
On the streets of Minneapolis
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of ’26
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
