BASTA YA!	IT'S ENOUGH NOW!
Al ver el diario en la mañana hoy Una noticia y una foto fue Una masacre de mi gente vi Han vuelto a asesinar al pueblo si Eso vi, eso vi!	It was in the newspaper yesterday again, -a very short announcement with a little photo- about a massacre in El Salvador; They had murdered several hundred more Now again, Now again!
Una mujer aquí, un niño allá Un hombre solo y un anciano más Habrá que unir al pueblo entero Para enfrentar al enemigo si Eso si, eso si!	A woman lay with her arm around her husband, An old man takes a little boy's hand. So people are uniting themselves, so they can overcome the enemy. Just exactly, Just exactly!
Basta ya! Este pueblo ha dicho porque basta ya Vamos ya, como una marea vamos a golpear	It's enough now! Do you hear that they shout it; It's enough now! They are doing it now: Strong, like a tidal wave, they will rise. It's enough now! Millions of people shout it; It's enough now! They are doing it now: Strong, like a tidal wave, they will rise.
Sandino allá en el monte comenzó Y un pueblo en armas lo siguió hasta el fin Allende en la moneda entregó su vida entera por el pueblo si Eso si, eso si!	Sandino began long ago; He led the strike for freedom. Allende fought and fell in battle, He gave his life for others lives The people's lives, Exactly! In Uruguay, in Guatemala, and in Nicaragua. In El Salvador, in Argentina, and in Chile this is our hope.
Basta ya! Este pueblo ha dicho porque basta ya Vamos ya, como una marea vamos a golpear	It's enough now! Didn't you hear, people yelling it: It's enough now! They are doing it now! As strong as a tidal wave, they will rise! It's enough now! Millions of people shout it; It's enough now! They are doing it now: Strong, like a tidal wave, they will rise.
