El Sudaca Nos Ataca

The South American Strikes Back

El Sudaca Nos Ataca

This is a songEsta es una canción
That comes from the heart of the plainsQue nace del corazón de la pampa
From the very core of Latin AmericaDe la entraña misma de la América latina
This is a milonga of love and deathEsta es una milonga de amor y muerte
Give me your hand, American brotherDame la mano, hermano americano

The South American strikes backEl sudaca nos ataca
And in the plains, it kills cowsY en la pampa mata vacas
And pays the mercenariesY paga a los mercenarios
With agricultural cashCon dinero agropecuario

He has a cousin in the guerrillaTiene un primo montonero
And a brother-in-law in the TupamarosY un cuñado tupamaro
They gamble with diceQue se juegan a los dados
On who will strike firstQuién atentará primero

Everyone in their suitsTodos con su liqui-liqui
Performs at the O.T.LInterpreta en la O.T.L
(That takes place in Waikiki)(Que se celebra en waikiki)
An ode to MenottiUna oda a menotti

The South American strikes backEl sudaca nos ataca
And in the plains, it kills cowsY en la pampa mata vacas
And pays the mercenariesY paga a los mercenarios
With agricultural cashCon dinero agropecuario

He has a Maoist sonTiene un hijo maoista
In the Shining PathEn sendero luminoso
Who hurriedly goes into exileQue se exilia presuroso
And disappears from sightY se le pierde de vista

Everyone in their suitsTodos con su liqui-liqui
Receives the Nobel PrizeReciben el premio Nóbel
They sail on the Kon-TikiNavegan en la kon-tiki
And keep their mustachesY se dejan el bigote
