Y en eso llegó Fidel [English translation]

Here, they thought that they would continue,

earning one hundred percent,

with apartment houses

and make the people to suffer.

And they wanted to continue in a cruel way

conspiring against the people,

and continue exploiting them...

And then Fidel arrived.

The fun times are over,

The Commander arrived

and told them to stop. (encore)

Here, they thought that they would continue,

swallowing and swallowing dirt,

without suspecting that in the Sierra

a new future was dawning.

And they wanted to continue in a cruel way

the custom of the crime

to turn Cuba into a gambling den...

and then Fidel arrived

The fun times are over

The Commander arrived

and told them to stop. (encore)

Here, they thought that they would continue,

saying that thieves,

outlaws, bandits

ravaged the country.

And they wanted to continue in a cruel way

with infamy as a shield,

defaming the bearded ones...

and then Fidel arrived

The fun times are over,

The Commander arrived

and told them to stop. (encore)

Here, they though that they would continue,

playing their democracy games

and the people, in their misfortune would soon die..

And they wanted to continue in a cruel way,

without care how it was done,

robbery was the norm...

and then Fidel arrived

The fun times are over,

The Commander arrived

and told them to stop. (encore)
