Poets Of Nicaragua

- lyrics
In the silence of Solentiname - accompanied by bird song
Where artists keep painting and poets keep writing
And faith has been framed by the blood of the martyrs
From Isla Mancarron to Isla San Fernando
From Isla La Venada - breathtaking beauty
Also named to remember Elvis Chavarria
And Felipe Pena and Donald Guevara
Who laid down their lives in the struggle for freedom

Where Ernesto Cardenal built the Church of liberation
Where Carlos Godoy wrote the Misa Campesino
so
I raise a glass for songwriters and artists
And the poets - of Nicaragua

Standing on the roof of the Cathedral at Leon
With the line of volcanoes stretching before you
Volcanoes and poets erupting with passion
Like Ruben Dario and Alfonso Cortes
In a land on a journey to remove the oppression
Where Bartoleme de las Casas appealed for the people
Where Dora Maria went on a hunger strike
On behalf of the poor - on behalf of the nation
Where planting and health bring hope to campesinos
So I raise a glass for teachers and doctors

And liberation priests and community workers
And the poets - of Nicaragua

In the silence of Solentiname - interpreted by bird song
Where dignity was born from the womb of simplicity
And justice will come as the fruit of humanity
And daily survival arrives with creativity
With painting on canvas and crafts full of colour
By Rodolfo Arellano & Rosa Pineda

Eneyda Castillo and Elba Jimenez
And we take our lesson from the voices that echo
From a country that listens to the words of its poets
And the songs that are born in the heart of its singers
From Luis Enrique to Katia Cardenal
And the poets - of Nicaragua

Where Ernesto Cardenal built the Church of liberation
Where Carlos Godoy wrote the Misa Campesino
So I raise a glass for songwriters and artists
And the poets - of Nicaragua.
