We are descendents of the legacy of General Agosto Sandino
A man against colonialist dependence with gusto for campesinos
Against United States Marines and economic infiltration
February 21st, thirty four, he was called for negotiation
By President Jose Maria Moncada
However he was caught in a plot of asimilación
Caught a shot of idolización, con cada,
brought and wrought an iron will to a martyr of Nicaragua
General Anastacio Somoza Garcia
Via military coup installed oligarquía
Elite controla la economia
Rigoberto Lopez Perez
El poeta repressed
A bullet has struck him
Falling to the ground by the shot of Fascist canon
Alone and abandoned
On the floor, distressed
For Nicaragua, now a bloody mess
A bleeding heart
Solo and living for the Sol of Liberty
In1962, they form the Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional
Carlos Fonseca, la guerra del mente idealista
Con Tomas Borge y Silvio Mayorga
Poder por el pobre, consciousness for the worker
Somos Marxistas
Somos Comunistas
Estudiantes de Liberación en Teologia
De colores,
Rojo por la lucha
Negro por la muerte de monetarily stratifying politically institutions
In 1967, Luis Somoza died
Replaced by brother Anastacio Somoza Bayle
In an effort to oppress the movimiento
The military bombed our encampamiento
But one man fought to save his allies, Julio Buitrago
An entire ejercito, como un mago
Central American Merlin
Trapped Honduran fuerzas armadas
Now on the border, frontier of Guerra Popular Prolongada
Accumulating forces in silence via propaganda
A border between freedom and martial order
December 23, 1972, an earthquake in Managua
Sangre fluja como agua
10,000 muerto, 50,000 sin casa
Debayle baile en dinero mientras la gente es sin esperanzas
At a party of elites held by Jose Maria Castillo, the people struck back at the empire
The spark on the prairie set fire
Borges set free of political imprisonment
Manifesto of the FSLN released
Television tells a vision to citizens
In 1976, we were struck a blow
Leader Fonseca and Eduardo Contreras han sido matado
Split into three, FSLN Proletario
For workers consciousness led by Jaime Wheelock
La Guerra Popular Prolongada
y La Insurrecciónal Tercerista
El grupo de los doce sandinista
A diaspora en Costa Rica
En mil noveciento setenta y siete
Protest the government
En mil noveciento setenta y ocho
Diez de enero, el gobierno asesinado Pedro Chamorro
Editor de La Prensa
La voz de Nicaragua
But they cannot repress a thought
oppress a desire for freedom with bombs
En la victoria
No somos Somocistas
Forming a Sandinista Junta of National Reconstruction
July 17,1979 democracy first functions
In the form of our constitution, Fundamental Law of State
Despite our triumph, the work has just begun
A debt of 1.6 billion
Cincuenta mil muerto
Cien y veinte mil en exilio
Seis mil homeless in our nation
Social programs, la alfabetización
47 por ciento literacy to 85, in almost literally no time
The CIA sponsored the Contras, abiertamente
Fuerza Democratica Nicaraguense
hasta Las Contras mataron un hombre estadounidense
Ben Linder, las campanas sona para ti
For Nicaragua, piezas de granada de mano y sangre en el agua
Ask for whom the bell tolls, BL, our vision will not be quelled
Central Intelligence trained Contras in elements
Of counter revolution, they don't boil but drain blood so they failed at
Rallying insurgents, more used to tallying insurgents in body bags
However US support gave the right solidarity
Ellos eran UNO
Union Nacional Oppositora
In 1990 we lost the election to the widow of Pedro Chamorro
Pero Ortega y sus compañeros
Lucha pobreza, somos ingenieros
Del cambio social como arquitectos
De obeliscos respeto por los derechos
como faraones benevolos
