Under the Peace Flag
there is the most freedom
to continue the war
referring to provisions
in the Treaty of Peace
There is always a story
to tell about the past
an era to choose
in which is founded
what was lost, a Golden Age
to which the people are entitled
and in which they will arise:
everything will be fine
as long as you have the last word
and silence the dissenters
those traitors of the truth
and the ideals of the revolution
Fight for equal rights
of our oppressed brothers
Free them!
Restore the territory
the foundation of the wealth
and the power of the leaders
then they might grant you
a large statue
