Letra y significado de 'Streets of Minneapolis', la nueva canción de Bruce Springsteen contra Trump y el ICE: "Cantando a través de la niebla sangrienta"
Así suena 'Streets of Minneapolis', en honor a Alex Pretti y Renée Good
Bruce Springsteen, Los Angeles, California (2025) / Emma McIntyre/Oscars
La lucha abierta entre varios artistas contra el gobierno de Donald Trump no es nada nuevo y Bruce Springsteen es una de sus voces más potentes en los actos reivindicativos contra los actos violentos del ICE. Y ahora, una vez más, el 'Boss' ha vuelto a dar un paso al frente contra el Presidente estadounidense y ha lanzado, de forma inesperada, una canción en la que carga duramente contra la persecución masiva y violenta de los inmigrantes.
Según avanzó el propio artista en sus redes sociales, Streets of Minneapolis es una canción que escribió el pasado sábado, la grabó en un día y, después, simplemente la lanzó. "Está dedicada a la gente de Minneapolis, a nuestros inocentes vecinos inmigrantes y en memoria de Alex Pretti y Renee Good", escribe.
En ella, el de Nueva Jersey habla de la ciudad como una que "lucha contra el fuego y el hielo" y define a Trump como un "invasor" que llegó para "imponer su ley".

Asimismo, enaltece a los vecinos de Minneapolis como representantes de "la justicia". "Sus voces sonando por la noche y había huellas ensangrentadas donde debía de haber habido misericordia", reza uno de sus versos.
Letra de 'Streets of Minneapolis', 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
In 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 our 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
ICE out (ICE out)
ICE out (ICE out)
ICE out (ICE out)
ICE out (ICE out)
ICE out (ICE out)
ICE out
