Yo Vi La Sangre de Un Niño Brotar
Pablo Milanés
I Saw the Blood of a Child Sprout
I saw the blood of a child sprout.
I have seen a child crying to his fate.
And I wonder why so much death,
so much pain, so much napalm, because
I saw the blood of a child sprout.
I saw the blood of a child sprout.
I have seen a child under a dark sky
shouting to the future when you will arrive.
And while other parents, other children,
under an open sky sing to time
that shall not pass.
I saw the blood of a child sprout.
I have seen a child crying to his fate.
And I wonder why so much death,
so much pain, so much napalm, because
I saw the blood of a child sprout.
