El nacimiento de un mundo se aplazó por un momento
The birth of a world was postponed for a moment
Un breve lapso del tiempo, del universo un segundo
A brief span of time, of the universe a second
Sin embargo parecía que todo se iba a acabar
However, it seemed that everything was going to end.
Con la distancia mortal que separó nuestra vidas
With the deadly distance that separated our lives
Realizaron la labor de desunir nuestras manos
They did the work of separating our hands
Y a pesar de ser hermanos nos miramos con temor
And despite being brothers we look at each other with fear
Cuando pasaron los años se acumularon rencores
As the years passed, grudges accumulated
Se olvidaron los amores, parecíamos extraños
The loves were forgotten, we seemed strangers
Qué distancia tan sufrida, que mundo tan separado
What a long-suffering distance, what a world so separated
Jamás hubiera encontrado sin aportar nuevas vidas
I would never have found without contributing new lives
Esclavo por una parte, servil criado por la otra
Slave on the one hand, servile servant on the other
Es lo primero que nota el último en desatarse
It's the first thing you notice, the last to break loose
Explotando esta misión de verlo todo tan claro
Exploiting this mission to see everything so clear
Un día se vio liberal por esta revolución
One day he saw himself as a liberal because of this revolution
Esto no fue un buen ejemplo para otros por liberar
This was not a good example for others to release
La nueva labor fue aislar bloqueando toda experiencia
The new task was to isolate, blocking all experience
Lo que brilla con luz propia nadie lo puede apagar
What shines with its own light, no one can turn it off
Su brillo puede alcanzar la oscuridad de otras costas
The brilliance of it can reach the darkness of other shores
Qué pagará este pesar del tiempo que se perdió.
What will this sorrow pay for the time that was lost.
De las vidas que costó, de las que puede costar
Of the lives it cost, of the lives it may cost
Lo pagará la unidad de los pueblos en cuestión
It will be paid by the unit of the peoples in question
Y al que niegue esta razón la historia condenará
And whoever denies this reason history will condemn
La historia lleva su carro y a muchos nos montará
History takes its car and many of us will ride
Por encima pasará de aquel que quiera negarlo
It will pass over the one who wants to deny it
Bolívar lanzó una estrella que junto a Martí brilló
Bolívar launched a star that, together with Martí, shone
Fidel la dignificó para andar por estas tierras
Fidel dignified her to walk through these lands
Bolívar lanzó una estrella que junto a Martí brilló
Bolívar launched a star that, together with Martí, shone
Fidel la dignificó para andar por estas tierras
Fidel dignified her to walk through these lands
