Canción Urgente Para Nicaragua

Silvio Rodriguez Silvio Rodriguez

Urgent Song for Nicaragua

Another hot iron broke
in Nicaragua
with which the eagle
signaled to the people

Another rope with bait broke
in Nicaragua
with which the eagle tied
the worker by the neck

The grass has caught fire
within the continent
borders kiss each other
and become inflamed

I remember a man
who died for this
and seeing this day
- like a specter of the mountain -
joyfully laughed

The specter is Sandino
with Bolívar and Che
because the same path
the three walked

These three walkers
with identical fate
have become giants
have already cheated death

Now the eagle has
its greatest ailment
Nicaragua hurts it
because it hurts love

And it hurts that the child
goes healthy to school
because from that wood
of justice and affection
its spur is not sharpened

Nicaragua will walk
its path in glory
because wise blood
made its history

It tells you a brother
who has bled with you
a Cuban tells you
a friend tells you.
