El Guerrillero
El Charrito Negro
The Guerrilla Fighter
I went to the mountains because in the village
I couldn't find a way to work
because when I applied for a job
they advised me to go steal
I left my wife with my little ones
whom I unintentionally abandoned
and to join the guerrillas
I headed to the mountains
I'm a guerrilla fighter but I'm not bad
as people usually say
because I came to the mountains
looking for a way to survive
because I came to the mountains
looking for a way to survive
if I get the amnesty offered by the government
I'll be a king
because I'm aware of the agreements
I'm willing to abide by the law
I want to soon return to the side
of my children and my wife
seeing the guarantees as real
that they offer us from power
I'm a guerrilla fighter but I recognize
that violence is unnecessary
long live Colombia my beloved homeland
long live the calm and may peace reign
long live Colombia my beloved homeland
long live the calm and may peace reign
