Y En Eso Llegó Fidel

And Then Fidel Arrived

Y En Eso Llegó Fidel

Here they thought they would continueAquí pensaban seguir
Earning one hundred percentGanando el ciento por ciento
With apartment buildingsCon casas de apartamentos
And making the people sufferY echar al pueblo a sufrir
And continuing cruellyY seguir de modo cruel
Conspiring against the peopleContra el pueblo conspirando
To keep exploiting themPara seguirlo explotando
And then Fidel arrivedY en eso llegó Fidel

The fun was overSe acabó la diversión
The commander arrivedLlegó el comandante
And ordered to stopY mandó a parar
The fun was overSe acabó la diversión
The commander arrivedLlegó el comandante
And ordered to stopY mandó a parar

Here they thought they would continueAquí pensaban seguir
Swallowing and swallowing dirtTragando y tragando tierra
Without suspecting that in the mountainsSin sospechar que en la sierra
The future was being litSe alumbraba el porvenir
And continuing cruellyY seguir de modo cruel
The habit of crimeLa costumbre del delito
Turning Cuba into a denHacer de Cuba un garito
And then Fidel arrivedY en eso llegó Fidel

The fun was overSe acabó la diversión
The commander arrivedLlegó el comandante
And ordered to stopY mandó a parar

Saying that the rustlersDiciendo que los cuatreros
Outlaws banditsForajidos bandoleros
Were ravaging the countryAsolaban al país
And continuing cruellyY seguir de modo cruel
With infamy as a shieldCon la infamia por escudo
Defaming the bearded onesDifamando a los barbudos
And then Fidel arrivedY en eso llegó Fidel
