Un Gran Hombre

There is a country
That war marked mercilessly
That country
From ashes managed to rise
It took years
To pay its tribute to war
Today it achieved
To be admired and respected for its peace

No, I did not know
The scourge of that invasion
I live happily
In the land that he built
I thank
The great man who knew how to keep away
That invasion
That was coming to change the path

Others will come
Who will not have to pave the way
He paved it
It is up to others to sow

Others will come
Who will find a cleaner path
They must follow
The path that he marked for us
They must not hide
Their admiration
Towards the man who brought this peace
And please
I ask, may this peace continue
