Y en eso llegó Fidel

And then Fidel arrived

Here they wanted to continue
taking everything for them, 1
having luxurious houses, 2
and making people suffer.
 
And continuing in a cruel way
to conspire against the people
to continue exploiting them...
and then Fidel arrived.
 
The fun was over,
El Comandante came
and ordered them to stop. (encore)
 
Here they wanted to continue,
swallowing and swallowing the land, 3
not suspecting that in Sierra Maestra
the future was born.
 
And continuing in a cruel way
the custom of crime
to turn Cuba into a gambling den...
and then Fidel arrived.
 
The fun was over,
El Comandante came
and ordered them to stop. (encore)
 
Here they wanted to continue,
saying that vicious
fugitive bandits
were devastating the country.
 
And continuing in a cruel way
with disgrace as their shield,
to defame bearded people...
and then Fidel arrived.
 
The fun was over,
El Comandante came
and ordered them to stop. (encore)
 
Here they wanted to continue
pretending to be democrats, 4
and people would just die
in their misery.
 
And continuing in a cruel way,
not caring how it was done,
with robbery as a rule...
and then Fidel arrived.
 
The fun was over,
El Comandante came
and ordered them to stop. (encore)
  • 1. Literally: "Earning one hundred percent"
  • 2. Literally: "with apartment houses".
  • 3. It's also an idiom, meaning: "being in real trouble", though here I think it should be translated literally.
  • 4. Or: "Playing a role of democrats".
