Gracias, Fidel

On that first day
Full of emotion and noise
Someone said moved and happy
Thanks, Fidel

And the people, after a year, repeat
Thanks, Fidel

And they put up a sign
With the mentioned phrase
Repeating joyfully and happily
Thanks, Fidel

And we started to have
Revolutionary laws
The law of agrarian reform
And the rent law

And one law after another
Laws for the underprivileged
For the man without a job
Starving in the plantation

And as the sincere people
Applauded enthusiastically
All the skeptics
Tore down the sign

They removed the sign
That was a known issue
But the grateful people repeat
Thanks, Fidel
