About weapons and poems.........

They lovelly explained about the rules,
I kindly replied with the meaning of freedom,
They explained all the manuals and forms,
I showed my letters and poems.
They showed me a photo of the president,
an image of Bolivar came to my mind.
They showed me flags and weapons and uniforms,
I took out my litter hat.
They shouted,
I looked up to the Sky.
They shot,
I lost myself in dreams of liberty until collapse in agony.

Eles amavelmente explicaram sobre as regras,

Eu gentilmente expliquei o sentido da liberdade.

Eles explicaram todos os manuais e formularios,

Eu mostrei minhas cartas e poemas.

Eles me mostraram a foto do presidente,

uma imagem de Bolivar veio a minha mente.

Eles me mostraram bandeiras e armas e uniformes,

Eu tirei meu chapeu de palha.

Eles gritaram,

Eu olhei para o ceu.

Eles atiraram,

Eu me perdi em sonhos de liberdade ate sucumbir em agonia.
