lirik lagu nicaragua (live) – bruce cockburn
[verse 1]
breakfast woodsmoke on the breeze
on the cliff the u.s. embassy
frowns out over managua like dracula’s tower
the kid who guards fonseca’s tomb
cradles a beat*up submachine gun
at age fifteen he’s a veteran of four years of war
proud to pay his dues
he knows who turns the screws
baby face and old man’s eyes
[verse 2]
blue lagoon and flowering trees
bullet*pocked masaya streets
full of the ghosts of the heroes of monimbó
women of the town laundry
work and gossip and laugh at me
they don’t believe i’ll evеr send them the picturеs i took
for every scar on a wall
there’s a hole in someone’s heart
where a loved one’s memory lives
[chorus]
in the flash of this moment
you’re the best of what we are
don’t let them stop you now
nicaragua
[verse 3]
sandino in his tom mix hat
gazes from billboards and coins
“sandino vive en la lucha por la paz”
sandino of the shining dream
who stood up to u.s. marines
now washington panics at u*2 shots of “cuban*style” latrines
they peek from planes
eavesdrop from ships
voyeurs l!cking moistened lips ’cause
[chorus]
in the flash of this moment
you’re the best of what we are
don’t let them stop you now
nicaragua
in the flash of this moment
you’re the best of what we are
don’t let them stop you now
nicaragua
[outro]
here’s another song from the same part of the world.
