Title:

It's harvest time

In history there are moments
When all victories
Seem to flee
But the one who never despairs
Wins, seeking in self-esteem
The unyielding strength to be.

By watering the desert of conscience
A new being has been born,
It's time to move on my friend
For you are the guerrillero
History gave to us.

We watered the desert of conscience
A new being has been born,
It's time to move on my friend
For you are the guerrillera
History gave to us.
