¡Larga vida al Ojo Moro!
Long live the Moorish Eye!
Si se apaga dale luz
If it goes out, give it light
Por tirano se merece
For tyrant he deserves
Que lo cuelguen en la cruz
Hang him on the cross
Suenan tiro en La Habana
They sound shot in Havana
Pero es mejor no correr
But it's better not to run
Si te arrancan los carteles
If the posters tear you off
No te vayas a ofender
don't be offended
No más corrupción en la tierra
No more corruption on earth
No más tiranía en el cielo
No more tyranny in the sky
No más matanza de colores
No more color killing
No más intereses ajenos
No more foreign interests
'Los pueblos de alma viril
'The peoples with a virile soul
Saltan sangrientas etapas
They skip bloody stages
Se reincorporan en Chiapas
They reincorporate in Chiapas
Los mártires del Brasil
The martyrs of Brazil
Las fieras a su cubil
The beasts to their lair
Los hombres hacia la aurora
men towards the dawn
La legión libertadora
the liberating legion
No se rinde ni se aplasta
Does not give up or crush
Y cuando se grita ¡basta!
And when you shout enough!
Inaplazable es la hora'
The hour cannot be postponed
Venden vida descartable
They sell disposable life
Para el nabo que esta ahí
For the turnip that is there
Que seguro se la compra
How sure he buys it
Pa' decir que estuvo aquí
To say that he was here
Vayan sudando la gota
Go sweating the drop
Porque viene, a lo mejor
Because it comes, maybe
Vayan pelando las sedas
Go stripping the silks
Que La Vela ya llegó
that the candle has already arrived
