The takeover - March 16, 1967

The takeover has already begun,
comrade, keep quiet,
beware of the cops,
they can cause trouble.

Hold the kid tight,
tell Jaime to hurry up
not to touch the forty-five,
hope it works out for us.

I don't see my buddy Julio
anywhere,
hope he managed
to grab all the bags.

Soldiers of the morning
say they did the job,
better not let me get my hands
on the traitor, the wretch.

...Hurry up Juan... here we go...
don't ever let go of the bags...
follow Berta, we're almost there...
watch out for those pots, girl...
Is Herminda sleeping?...

Why does destiny give us
life as punishment
but nobody intimidates me
if the future is with me.

...Hurry up... can you imagine... a house...
shut up, run... finally, finally...
what was that?... we've arrived...
and Herminda?... she's sleeping...
