Melesio Tenía Razón
Frank Delgado
Melesio Was Right
Melesio Capote was a radical country guy who didn’t believe
A hundred percent in that anap and cooperativization.
And he was excommunicated for refusing to live with the illusion
Like a little bee in the hive, back at the Lion's Rock.
Melesio Capote said very firmly:
"My plot is mine; if not, I don’t want it."
Melesio Capote wrote his laws
Soaked in sweat and with the help of oxen.
Country guy, here’s the reason
For all this worry:
Though it hurts to admit it,
Melesio was right...
I went to the cooperative
Melesio was right...
And I lost my initiative.
Melesio was right...
I no longer have a quality of life.
Melesio was right...
Country guy, here’s the reason
For all this worry:
Though it hurts to admit it,
Melesio had,
Had the right idea.
Melesio Capote, time passed and you, radical country guy,
Saw that the rules of yesterday are now considered exceptional
And now it’s trendy to be a bit like you, chasing the power
Of money and prosperity, without knowing the grind.
Melesio Capote, you’re a prophet.
Without raising a hand, you dealt a thousand slaps.
Melesio Capote, share your commandment
So that hope can yield results.
