Sangueo Para El Regreso

Blood for the Return

Sangueo Para El Regreso

The people are wise and patientQue el pueblo es sabio y paciente
That's what the elders sayEs el decir de los viejos
When the guacharaca playsQue al cantar de guacharaca
They know how to time it rightSaben calcular el tiempo.

They say the hour is nearDicen que viene la hora
Look, to make us happyMirá para ponernos contentos
Bolívar left yesterdaySe fue bolívar ayer
But today he's coming backPero hoy viene de regreso

Let's head over there, let's meet him (repeat)Vamonos pa'allá vamos a su encuentro (bis)

They say Bolívar bringsDicen que bolívar trae
Fury and courage insideFuria y coraje por dentro
Seeing that they've takenAl ver que nos han quitado
What he left as oursLo que él dejó siendo nuestro

They say he's coming in hotDicen que viene caliente
Because of our behaviorPor nuestro comportamiento
After dropping his swordAl dejar caer su espada
And also his thoughtsY también su pensamiento

Let's head over there, let's meet him (repeat)Vamonos pa'allá vamos a su encuentro (bis)

If Jesus kicked outSi jesucristo sacó
The merchants from the templeLos mercadores del templo
Bolívar also returnedBolívar también volvió
To free his peopleA liberar a su pueblo

Let's head over there, let's meet him (repeat)Vamonos pa'allá vamos a su encuentro (bis)

They say he's coming on horsebackDicen que viene a caballo
But he carries in his saddlePero trae en la gualdrapa
An arsenal of loveUn arsenal de cariño
To plant in the homelandPara sembrar en la patria

The homeland is a womanLa patria es una mujer
And he returned to love herY el regresó para amarla
Against those who stay up lateContra los que se desvelan
Just to enjoy herTan sólo por disfrutarla
And instead of giving her affectionY en vez de darle caricias
All they do is grope herLo que hacen es manosearla

Let's head over there, let's meet him (repeat)Vamonos pa'allá vamos a su encuentro (bis)
