Nicaragua

Nicaragua hurts me right here,
Where my reason doesn’t get lost,
Where bullets and love tend to coexist.
Nicaragua reaches my heart.

Nicaragua makes me remember,
Nicaragua makes me come alive;
Nicaragua also makes me think
That the future is surely yours.

Nicaragua, they don’t want your voice
To roam through the jungle nonstop
And another shout is ready to join
That song that was so long awaited.

Nicaragua, that book that was opened
I don’t want it to close again
Nor for death to have to bring down
That fist so high that was raised.

Nicaragua hurts me right here,
Nicaragua reaches my heart.
Nicaragua, the book that was opened,
Nicaragua, it won’t close again.
Nicaragua, I want to stand by you.
Nicaragua, I want to promise you.

Nicaragua, the one who was exiled yesterday
And the one who betrayed you at dawn
One night in the shadows united them
And they attacked your rivers of milk and honey.

Nicaragua, they want to destroy you
The poem that finally got rescued
With a thousand new words to say
Where life and sweat are spoken of.

Nicaragua, they don’t want to understand
That your march doesn’t take a step back.
Whoever is like him is mistaken
What future would continue for us?

Nicaragua, I want to stand by you
And I want to promise hope
For those years you just won
To those that still need to be conquered.

Nicaragua hurts me right here,
Nicaragua reaches my heart.
Nicaragua, the book that was opened,
Nicaragua, it won’t close again.
Nicaragua, you make me ask
Nicaragua, you make me come alive.

You make me ask,
Nicaragua, you make me come alive.
Nicaragua, the book that was opened,
Nicaragua, it won’t close again.
Nicaragua, I want to stand by you.

Nicaragua, they don’t want your voice
To roam through the jungle nonstop
And another shout is ready to join
That song that was so long awaited.

Nicaragua makes me remember,
Nicaragua makes me come alive;
Nicaragua also makes me think
That the future is surely yours.

Nicaragua!
