And us "here charmed with life" with Cabrerita and Tranquilino singing the ballads of the Defender Army of National Sovereignty. With its Choir of Angels and its Chief of Staff. With its Small Crazy Army and all the people continuing on their liberatory anti-imperialist struggle. Here we are my General. With joy, tenderness, and the steadiness of our Popular Sandinista Revolution, a flower of courage and song. With the humble and barefoot who followed you ever since nineteen hundred and always. Here we are SANDINO, General of Free Men, hoisting the flag of dignity, your black and red, our flag that will continue to be the defender of National Sovereignty. With the yell of HOMELAND AND FREEDOM lighting up the history of our Latin American Continent in the struggle for peace and a definitive independence. 50 years later...SANDINO, General of Free Men, LIVES ON in the will of the people that want a FREE HOMELAND OR DEATH!
