Canto De Despedida
Luis Enrique Mejía Godoy
Farewell Song
There is nothing more beautiful than looking at a united town
that fights when it wants to improve because it is determined.
There is nothing more beautiful than hearing in everyone's song
a single immense shout of brotherhood.
It's not easy to say goodbye when the joy is so great,
here I feel a lump in the middle of my throat,
but all this sadness will soon turn into a smile,
when we all return to the peasant mass.
How beautiful it is to contemplate Chenta Calero
with her four little ones and Gaspar, her cheerful companion.
From here I can see fisherman Presentación Ortiz
with his whole family singing happily.
It's not easy to say goodbye...
Today I feel my heart brand new, I feel great,
just like the cashew seed when it's ripe.
Now that I return to my place filled with joy
I will tend to my garden with more devotion.
It's not easy to say goodbye...
To the beat of the clapping, the song gains more strength
to make the emotion vibrate in everyone and become more intense.
To the beat of the clapping it will be known that we are many people
and if we are united, no one will move us.
It's not easy to say goodbye...
Let's join our hands to be fused again
in this huge bond of Nicaraguan brotherly love.
Let's join our hands to build a strong wall
that will forever defend the community.
It's not easy to say goodbye...
