La Carta (original)La Carta (translation)
Me mandaron una carta they sent me a letter
Por el correo temprano by early mail
En esa carta me dicen In that letter they tell me
Que cayó preso mi hermano That my brother fell prisoner
Y sin compasión con grillos And mercilessly with crickets
Por las calles lo arrastraron Through the streets they dragged him
Sí… Yes…
La carta dice el motivo The letter says the reason
Que ha cometido Roberto What has Robert done?
Haber apoyado el paro Having supported the strike
Que ya se había resuelto That had already been resolved
Si acaso esto es un motivo If this is a reason
Preso voy también sargento I'm going to prison too sergeant
Sí… Yes…
Yo que me encuentro tan lejos I am so far away
Esperando una noticia waiting for a news
Me viene a decir en la carta He comes to tell me in the letter
Que en mi patria no hay justicia That in my country there is no justice
Los hambrientos piden pan The hungry ask for bread
Los molesta la milicia They are bothered by the militia
Sí… Yes…
Habrase visto insolencia You would have seen insolence
Barbarie y alevosía Barbarism and treachery
De presentar el trabuco To present the blunderbuss
Y matar a sangre fría And kill in cold blood
Hay quien defensa no tiene There are those who do not have a defense
Con las dos manos vacías With both empty hands
Sí… Yes…
La carta que me mandaron The letter they sent me
Me pide contestación ask me for a reply
Yo pido que se propale I ask that it spread
Por toda la población for the entire population
Que el león es un sanguinario That the lion is a bloodthirsty
En toda generación in every generation
Sí… Yes…
Por suerte tengo guitarra Luckily I have a guitar
Y también tengo mi voz And I also have my voice
También tengo siete hermanos I also have seven brothers
Fuera del que se engrilló Out of which he shackled
Todos revolucionarios all revolutionaries
Con el favor de mi Dios With the favor of my God
Sí… SíYes Yes
