| Colonel hand over your weapons
|
| You can't win the fight is over already
|
| You have the Church against
|
| The allies have betrayed
|
| And you've already lost too many friends
|
| In this war
|
| You took part in thirty-two revolutions
|
| And thirty-two revolutions you have lost
|
| Tienes que esperar!
|
| When you least expect it
|
| A man will come
|
| With your flag in hand
|
| One hundred years (cien años) de soledad
|
| Too many defeats, too many enemies
|
| Tienes que esperar
|
| Tienes tienes que esperar
|
| One hundred years (cien años) de soledad
|
| El president, el cardinal
|
| El fundo monetario internacionàl
|
| (Tienes que esperar) Remedios works
|
| At the market in San Cristobal
|
| At his mother's fruit stand
|
| At five he has already learned
|
| To cheat on the rest
|
| With Japanese gringos and tourists
|
| He descends from the Maya, lords of the Earth
|
| For a dollar you can photograph it
|
| And in the photos he doesn't smile
|
| But he seems to be listening
|
| The sound of distant music
|
| Tienes que esperar
|
| Tienes tienes que esperar
|
| One hundred years (cien años) de soledad
|
| Of bent backs, beaten women
|
| White guards, armed hands
|
| One hundred years (cien años) de soledad
|
| Of old forgotten songs
|
| Of Paddy Garcia's rebellious days
|
| Father Miguel lives in the Favela
|
| Search every day
|
| To bring an answer
|
| To the meserables, to the thieves
|
| To street children
|
| With their hard and frightened looks at the same time
|
| To whores and jineteras
|
| To those fleeing the starving
|
| God promised them
|
| The heavens and the earth
|
| And the other men
|
| They crush them in the mud |
