The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Guerrillero" by Karamelo Santo.

Lyrics

Yo guerrillero! plomo y palabra por lo mío te soy sincero
Yo guerrillero! Guerrilla afirma que no todos somos corderos
Babalú aye, san Lázaro
Ayuda a liberar este alma de pájaro,
Que la enfermedad del mundo condena al guerrero a vivir oculto en su propio
suelo
Ay madrecita, ay virgencita de Santa Rita le pido en este canto y vea
Nunca se olvide de quien pelea
Se llevaron mi padre y me quede rezando
Se llevaron mi mujer y me quede rezando,
Ahora vienen por los niños y yo digo basta!
Hoy cambié cruz por la metralleta
Jesús me lo dijo mi palabra es ésta
Mi compadre hoy tengo un sueño,
Don Ernesto Cardenal

Lyrics translation

I guerrilla! lead and word for mine I'm sincere
I guerrilla! Guerrilla claims that we are not all lambs
Babalu aye, Saint Lazarus
Help free this bird soul,
That the disease of the world condemns the warrior to live hidden in his own
floor
Ay mother, ay Virgin of Santa Rita I ask you in this song and see
Never forget who fights
They took my father and I stayed praying
They took my wife and I stayed praying,
Now they come for the children and I say stop!
Today I traded cruz for the machine gun
Jesus told me my word is this
My friend today I have a dream,
Don Ernesto Cardenal
