Un Hombre En General
Inti-Illimani
A Man in General
He was a sunflower riding a horse,
he was a kind of sun walking on foot,
he was a crucible and melted the Nicaraguan;
we can say he was,
we can say he is and will be,
we can say he was and will be,
we can say he goes
with so much Nicaragua.
It was a broken country in the taboo,
it was a taboo intertwined in living,
a governing possessed by Belzebub
we can say he was,
we can say he is and will be,
we can say he was and will be,
we can say he goes
with so much Nicaragua.
And it was a Sandino who returned in bone,
the one who put frost to Somoza
the one who braved his race and lit the torch
we can say he was,
we can say he is and will be,
we can say he was and will be,
we can say he goes
with so much Nicaragua.
A man in General
(sunflower riding a horse)
that epic will ordain,
a man in General
(he was a sunflower riding a horse,
he was a kind of sun walking on foot)
And it was a Sandino who returned in bone.
