La Patria Buena

Many blows are needed
to kill the chiripero
and with just one
the cockroach is killed

learn the guaracha
and fight for unity
that everyone goes
with hope in hand

seeking to give the homeland
paths of dignity
seeking to give the homeland
paths of dignity

go ahead, the road is long
but the poet shortens it
when approaching the peasant
and together they plow the land

and even if the star is big
it always looks small
and it is everyone's task
to make a good homeland

good for everyone to live
with well-being and without complaints
good so that misery
stays away from Venezuela
good so that the rivers
are not dried by the fire

Many blows are needed
to kill the chiripero
and with just one
the cockroach is killed

learn the guaracha
and fight for unity
that everyone goes
with hope in hand

seeking to give the homeland
paths of dignity
seeking to give the homeland
paths of dignity

Let's go, the road is long
but the worker shortens it
when approaching the sea
and embracing the sailor

and as the evening star approaches
beside the moon
the singer with his singing
overcomes bitterness

and says it's time
for the people to win
and says it's time
for the people to win

Let's go, the road is long
but the effort shortens it
put in by the fisherman
when moving the oar

and remembers the truth
that amazes his soul

praying to God but rowing
until reaching the shore
praying to God but rowing
until reaching the shore

Many blows are needed
to kill the chiripero
and with just one
the cockroach is killed

learn the guaracha
and fight for unity
that everyone goes
with hope in hand

seeking to give the homeland
paths of dignity
seeking to give the homeland
paths of dignity

the cheerful student is heard
inviting the artisan
to cut to the chase
and make a good homeland

united in a warmth
that kills its shiver
because it's sad, friend
that a quarter of a century passes
and leaves a quarter empty
that a quarter of a century passes
and leaves a quarter empty

Many blows are needed
to kill the chiripero
and with just one
the cockroach is killed

learn the guaracha
and fight for unity
that everyone goes
with hope in hand

seeking to give the homeland
paths of dignity
seeking to give the homeland
paths of dignity
