Te sembraste en las montañas
Francisco Alberto, me alegro!
Y engañaste los de arriba
Los generales y el miedo
Francisco Alberto, me alegro

You sowed your seeds in the mountains,
Francisco Alberto. I’m happy.
And you deceived those over us,
the generals and the fear.

Media isla
En la zozobra del luto y de la sangre
Media isla
Y la presencia centenaria de los yanquis
Media isla
Media isla bañada de febrero en Caracoles
Half an island sinking in sorrow
and blood,
half an island, and a century of Yanqui
presence.

Half an island, half an island bathed
in February, and in snail shells.

Dijeron que estabas muerto
Francisco Alberto, caramba
Y que en un sitio ignorado
Enterraron tu fusil
Francisco Alberto, y tu cuerpo

Mira tu pueblo
Hoy tu gesto es su alimento
Ya no hay miedo ni silencio
Y están siguiendo tu ejemplo

There is neither fear nor silence.
Already they are following your example.
