Réquiem Sobre El Jaragua
Juan Luis Guerra 4.40
Requiem Over The Jaragua
They gave them dynamite
On a Tuesday afternoon
They spent the day
Attaching the cables
They gave them dynamite
With a street pickaxe
No matter how much they gave
Jaragua doesn't fall
They gave them dynamite
The whole town knows it
The moon was laughing
The good ones don't fall
They gave them dynamite
I said it, buddy
No matter how much they gave
Jaragua doesn't fall
(All that's missing is for them to knock down the moon, old man...!)
[improv.]
They gave them dynamite
The whole town knows it
No matter how much they gave
Jaragua doesn't fall
They gave them dynamite
With a street pickaxe
No matter how much they gave
Jaragua doesn't fall
They gave them dynamite
The town knows it
They gave them dynamite
Gustavo knows it
No matter how much they gave
Jaragua doesn't fall
They gave them dynamite
With a street pickaxe
No matter how much they gave
Jaragua doesn't fall
[rafael colón:] moon over the jaragua...
