Silvio Rodríguez, Revolución Es... [Song of the Chosen One]

Trump gets elected, Castro dies. New eras emerge while others pass.

"Revolution is to have a sense of an historical moment
it means to change everything that has to be changed
it's equality and absolute freedom
it means to treat and be treated as a human being
it means emancipation with our own efforts and principles
it's to defy powerful dominating forces
inside and outside the national, social and political context
it's to defend the values one believes in
no matter what price must be paid
it's modest, has no hidden interests, it's altruist, solidare and heroic
it means to never lie or renounce to ethical principles
it is a strong conviction that there is no force in the world
capable of crushing the power of truth and ideas
Revolution is unity, is independence, it's to fight
for our dreams of justice for Cuba and the World.
It's the basis of our patriotism and socialism and it's
our internationalism".
