Mamita mía [Die Herren Generale] [English translation]

(Spain, 1936)

Four noble generals

Four noble generals

Four noble generals

¡Mamita mía!

They have betrayed us

They have betrayed us

And the fascist states

Quickly deployed their soldiers

With their bombs and grenades

¡Mamita mía!

To commit bloody deeds

Commit bloody deeds

Madrid, you wonderful city

Madrid, you wonderful city

Madrid, you wonderful city

¡Mamita mía!

They wanted to take you

They wanted to take you

But of your loyal sons

But of your loyal sons

But of your loyal sons

¡Mamita mía!

You don't have to be ashamed

You don't have to be ashamed

And all of the tears you've shed

And all of the tears you've shed

And all of the tears you've shed

¡Mamita mía!

We are going to avenge

We are going to avenge

And the damned bondage

And the damned bondage

And the damned bondage

¡Mamita mía!

We are going to break up

We are going to break up!
