¡Basta ya! [English translation]
¡Basta ya! [English translation]
Oh! Here comes the sunrise,
Roosters are singing.
Buddy, they're announcing
the beginning of the work day... Oh... Oh...
Oh! To the swinging of my wagon
this lamentation was born.
Buddy, pay attention
that my quatrain will start.
We have no protection... Oh... Oh...
I work for the englishman,
I work as a cart driver,
sweating for a money,
that is not seen in the hand... Oh... Oh...
Enough! Enough!
Enough that the yankee rules!
The yankee lives in a palace
I live in the barracks!
How it is possible that the yankee
lives better than me?
Enough! Enough!
Enough that the yankee rules!
What's happening with my brothers
of Mexico and Panama?
Their fathers were slaves,
their children will not!
Enough! Enough!
Enough that the yankee rules!
Since little I learned
to fight for that peace.
After growing I repeated it
and I ended up in jail.
Enough! Enough!
Enough that the yankee rules!
Who has won the war
at the Vietnam mounts?
The guerrilla man in his land
And the yankee in the cinema.
Enough! Enough!
Enough that the yankee rules!
Enough! Enough! Enough!
