Sopa Borracha or Centennial

Spain, Columbia
Not our own
Invaders steal our children
Ships in both harbors
Gringos’ bienvenido

Rough Rider President,
Immigration invasion
The earth moves,
New currents flow outward
Gringo Salvation

A son speaks out
Our rights determined
Zona cerrada,
Is now open
The flag flies high,
Omar’s Salvation

White handkerchiefs
Gas and bruises
Red communist flags
Our rights determined
Pineapple under glass
Gringo Salvation

Gringos go home!
ˇBases no!
“La zona revertida”
Omar’s dream comes true
The student blood runs red
Rabiblanco Salvation

As the richer get richer,
The poor stay poor
A domestic enemy
Steals our children
The blame está con nosotros
Our damnation
