Late as usual!

My anti-war song:


My Personal Revenge (Mi Venganza Personal)
Tomás Borge and Louis Enrique Mejía Godoy
Translated by Jorge Calderón


My personal revenge will be the right
Of our children in the schools and in the gardens
My personal revenge will be to give you
This song which has flourished without panic
My personal revenge will be to show you
The kindness in the eyes of my people
Who have always fought relentlessly in battle
And been generous and firm in victory

My personal revenge will be to tell you, "Good morning,"
On a street without beggars or homeless
When instead of jailing you I suggest
You shake away the sadness there that blinds you
And when you who have applied your hands in torture
Are unable to look up at what surrounds you
My personal revenge will be to give you
These hands that once you so mistreated
And have failed to take away their tenderness

It was the people who hated you the most
When rage became the language of their song
And underneath the skin of this town today
Its heart has been scarred forevermore

And underneath the skin of this town today
Red and black, its heart's been scarred forevermore.


My Personal Revenge, performed by Jackson Browne (YSI link)
