A Don José!

Come to that Creole surround
Surround, encircle
The countrymen call him
My general
The countrymen call him
My general
He illuminates with his voice
The darkness
And even the stones know
Where is it going?
And even the stones know
Where is it going?

With freedom, I neither offend nor fear
What a Don José!
Oriental in life
And in death too
Oriental in life
And in death too

Come to the Indians form
The squadron
And get the dark ones ready
The heart
And get the dark ones ready
The heart

From stove to stove
The voice is heard
If the homeland calls me
Here I am!
If the homeland calls me
Here I am!

With freedom, I neither offend nor fear
What a Don José!
Oriental in life
And in death too
Oriental in life
And in death too
