Marco's Hall

In the distance of the jungleEn la lejanía de la selva
A clear horse is seenSe avista un caballo claro
Among plants and mistsEntre plantas y neblinas
With a hooded manCon un hombre encapuchado
He comes with his fist upViene con el puño arriba
As Genaro has doneComo lo ha hecho Genaro
As Cabañas didComo lo hizo cabañas
And also Che GuevaraY también el Che Guevara

To shout at the governmentPara gritarle al gobierno
We are tired of miseryEstamos hartos de miseria
Of violence and bad timesDe violencia y malos ratos
And them spending our moneyY que se gasten nuestra feria

No one knows for sureNadie sabe a ciencia cierta
What his baptismal name isCual es su nombre de bautizo
But here he became MarcosPero aquí se puso marcos
Among pure indigenous and mestizo with the heartEntre puro indio y mestizo con el corazón
Open and the mind in our landAbierto y la mente en nuestra tierra
He is always watching usSiempre nos esta observando
From there, from the mountainsDesde allá desde la sierra

To open the eyes of the peoplePara abrirle el ojo al pueblo
And shout at the elusive onesY gritarle a los esquivos
That's enough of injusticesQue basta de injusticias
And of being too cleverY de pasarse de vivos

Far away it is seenAllá a lo lejos se divisa
Among the smoke and ashesEntre el humo y la ceniza
With rage in the smile, withCon la rabia en la sonrisa, con
The face inflamedLa cara enardecida
The courage and annoyance, the helplessnessEl coraje y el fastidio, la impotencia
Of knowing that your hunger is suicideDe saber que tu hambre es un suicidio

Hey! Your fight is not with meHey! Que tu lucha no es conmigo
It's with everyone who steals your shelterEs con todo aquel que te roba el abrigo
With those who rob you, with those who kill youCon aquel que te atraca con aquel que te mata
With those who govern with the mind of a cowCon aquel que gobierna con la mente de una vaca

Fly, fly little doveVuela, vuela palomita
Run and tell the impostorsCorre y dile a los farsantes
That the water is overQue ya se acabo el agüita
Because the subcommander has arrivedPues llego el subcomandante
That they return what was stolenQue devuelvan lo robado
That they deliver it right awayQue entreguen luego lueguito
All the stolen landsTodas las tierras robadas
And also the moneyY también el dinerito

Because we will not allowPorque no permitiremos
Any more cheating in plebiscitesYa mas trampa en plebiscitos
Because we will not allowPorque no permitiremos
Any more cheating in plebiscitesYa mas trampa en plebiscitos

With this I say goodbyeYa con esta me despido
I'm going to see the commanderVoy a ver al comandante
With the V for victoryCon la V de la victoria
Until always and forwardHasta siempre y adelante
As Carlos Puebla didComo lo hizo Carlos Puebla
And friend Oscar ChavezY el amigo Oscar Chavez
Until victory alwaysHasta la victoria siempre
Until always and forwardHasta siempre y adelante

Until victory alwaysHasta la victoria siempre
Until always and forwardHasta siempre y adelante
Until victory alwaysHasta la victoria siempre
Until always, commanderHasta siempre comandante
Until victory alwaysHasta la victoria siempre
Until always and forwardHasta siempre y adelante
Until victory alwaysHasta la victoria siempre
Until always, commanderHasta siempre, comandante
