La Guerra Del Petróleo
Ali Primera
The Oil War
It would pain me
For us to kill each other, my brother
Come, Colombian friend
Let's fight together
Our bonds of friendship
Will endure forever
We are children of the homeland
That the liberator left us
And to defend with love
His legacy calls us
Our spilled blood
Is oil for the Yankee
Soldier, turn your rifle
Against the oligarch
Soldier, turn your rifle
Against the oligarch
They want to deceive the people
Of your land and my country
They want to hide hunger with war
That piece of land won't be enough
To bury our dead
Come, Colombian friend
Let's sing together
For a second independence
Let's fight together
The Orinoco and the Magdalena will embrace
Among jungle songs
And your children and my children
Will sing for peace
The Orinoco and the Magdalena will embrace
Among jungle songs
And your children and my children
Will smile at peace
