"There are people to who the hardest tests anything teaches neither they make them win experience; for this reason they continue loving and believing in spite of the years" THOMAS MANN

 

WOUNDED CONDOR

JULIO CÉSAR HOYOS - BARRANQUILLA (COLOMBIA)

 

Listen... somebody groans.

COLOMBIA... why do you cry, my homeland?

Your children love you, your symbols worship

and proud we are of being Colombian.

Some they love me,

other they revile me,

the blood of my children runs to streams,

the rich one dies, dies the poor person, the boy and the old man,

the soldier and the policeman,

the guerilla fighter and the paramilitary one:

ALL DIE.

The condor of my shield,

audacious as my race,

left the heaths to survey the plain

and he didn't return,

as the peasante doesn't return

that abandons their parcel,

and, do you still ask me why I cry?
