Lyrics of El Ojo Moro - La Vela Puerca

El Ojo Moro (original)

Larga vida al Ojo Moro!
Si se apaga dale luz
Por tirano se merece
Que lo cuelguen en la cruz
Suenan tiro en La Habana
Pero es mejor no correr
Si te arrancan los carteles
No te vayas a ofender
No mas corrupcin en la tierra
No mas tirania en el cielo
No mas matanza de colores
No mas intereses ajenos
«Los pueblos de alma viril
Saltan sangrientas etapas
Se reincorporan en Chiapas
Los martires del Brasil
Las fieras a su cubil
Los hombres hacia la aurora
La legin libertadora
No se rinde ni se aplasta
Y cuando se grita basta!
Inaplazable es la hora»
Venden vida descartable
Para el nabo que esta ahi
Que seguro se la compra
Pa' decir que estuvo aqui
Vayan sudando la gota
Porque viene, a lo mejor
Vayan pelando las sedas
Que La Vela ya lleg

(translation)

Long live the Moorish Eye!
If it goes out, give it a light
For tyrant he deserves
Hang him on the cross
Sound shot in Havana
But it's better not to run
If they rip off the posters
Don't go offending
No more corruption on earth
No more tyranny in the sky
No more killing of colors
No more outside interests
«The peoples of virile soul
Skip bloody stages
They rejoin in Chiapas
The martyrs of Brazil
The beasts to their lair
The men towards the dawn
the liberating legion
Does not give up or crush
And when you shout enough!
The time cannot be postponed»
sell disposable life
For the turnip that is there
I sure will buy it
To say that he was here
Go sweating the drop
Because it's coming, maybe
Go peeling the silks
That the candle has already arrived
