Fidel Castro…

Fidel Castro...

Let us take one another’s hands

                     And with the chain of our arms

                                   Make a ring around the earth

 

An unbreakable chain

Like unbreakable Fidel

 

He is deep in our hearts

Will never die… Fidel

This most stable Anti-imperialist legend

This eternal...

This glittering star

 

The flames of his limitless love... for humans

                                           For labourers... men... women

                                                                            And children

                                                                                       From all the races

No... he will never die in our hearts.

 

People’s companion Fidel

People’s fellow Fidel

True... honest... loyal Fidel

Committed to the goals…

                                   And to principles Fidel

Never broken promises… Fidel

The glittering … the offspring of the sun Fidel…

Pure with faithfulness … towards his people… Fidel…

 

This clear camaraderie mirror

This self-controlled and brave

This thoughtful earnest man

This patron of his nation… Fidel…

 

Let us remember…

1954 … They began their guerrilla fight…

                                       He and his comrades

1956 … They overthrew Fulgencio Batista…

                                       Starting the socialist revolution

                                                                                         In Cuba

1961 … The CIA-arranged attack was defeated…

                                                                      In the Bay of Pigs

And then … 638 assassination attempts by the CIA on Fidel

All unsuccessful…!

 

Fidel… a master speaker

                           Daily analyzing problems for his nation

                                             Hours on the radio… sometimes 8 or 9

This… is the secret of Cuba’s stability against sanctions

 

Whatever there was …

Was more or less

Shared between all…

 

There wasn’t …nor are there… any street children in Cuba

There isn’t any uneducated person or mullah

The export of Cuba … doctors to other Latin lands

 

Happy was… his birth on 13th August 1926

Happy was…his lifelong struggle

                                           Against class tyranny

                                                                       And imperialism

And now happy is … his eternity

 

Fidel is the glittering star of memories

Fidel is the Prideful leader of Cuba

 

Cuba… dignified resistant nation

Tortured 60 years by US sanctions

But stood steady against imperialists

And swallowed its deep rancor

The nation united with its leader

                               The confident supporter

                                                       In protecting its leader

 

Long live… the nation of Cuba

Your Fidel … is standing honored

                                       With his head high up

In the row of …world’s beloved personalities

                                         No…

This hero of resistance to Imperialism

                                         Has never died…

                                                     He is so alive

 

But the monster… Imperialism

                                         Is taking its last breaths

                                                       Half choking… and mortal
