Can you hear the cries Jovito?
It wasn’t too long ago another starry night like this
In our freedomfight Jovito
You ordered our execution to be done in the dark
No one heard the cries and screams
And sounds of torture that were coming from afar
You are closer now Jovito
Every hour every minute to last in hell eventually
You should be afraid Jovito
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I’m not ashamed to say
The sound of guns and soldiers really made me cry
We were fighting for Equality
If you were bright, Jovito
You’d have fought with us for Honesty,
For Liberty, Jovito
Though we never thought that we could die
There’s no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, dear Gen. Jovito
If I had to do the same again
I would, dear Gen. Jovito
When you’re old and grey Jovito
After many years have passed without a rifle in your hand
You’ll still hear the cries Jovito
You’ll recall the frightful night you ordered that we meet our end
I see evil in your eyes
How proud you were to fight our freedom in this land
We were fighting for Equality
If you were bright, Jovito
You’d have fought with us for Honesty,
For Liberty, Jovito
Though we never thought that we could die
There’s no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, dear Gen. Jovito
If I had to do the same again
I would, dear Gen. Jovito
We were fighting for Equality
If you were bright, Jovito
You’d have fought with us for Honesty,
For Liberty, Jovito
Though we never thought that we could die
There’s no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, dear Gen. Jovito
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, dear Gen. Jovito …
