Nicaragua Sandinista
Kortatu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dispara.
Un gringo,
En tu casa.
Gringos en Nicaragua,
Gringos a mogollón.
La comadre Sebastiana
Os ronda alrededor.
contando batallitas en el bar
no me seas gachupino, gachupino huevón
Que en tu tierra te llaman la Revolución.
Nicaragua Sandinista.
The song Nicaragua Sandinista by Kortatu portrays a powerful anti-imperialist message through its lyrics. The first two lines, "Despierta. Dispara." which translate to "Wake up. Shoot," immediately set the tone for the song - one of revolution and resistance against an oppressive foreign power. The mention of a "gringo" in the first verse highlights the American interference in Nicaragua's politics and depicts them as an unwelcome and threatening force in the country.
The chorus "Gringos en Nicaragua, Gringos a mogollón" refers to the mass presence of Americans in Nicaragua, which is a clear nod to the intervention and military presence that the US had in the country at that time. The song also mentions "Comadre Sebastiana," which is a traditional song from Mexico that refers to death, symbolizing the fear and uncertainty that surrounded the situation in Nicaragua at that time.
The final lines of the song, "Que en tu tierra te llaman la Revolución. Nicaragua Sandinista" ("In your land, they call you the Revolution. Sandinista Nicaragua"), show the pride and determination of the Nicaraguan people to resist the American intervention and fight for their own sovereignty. The song is a strong piece of protest music that speaks to the experiences of oppressed communities everywhere and encourages them to rise up against their oppressors.

pocas bandas quedan como esta. Los tiempos cambien y el pop y demas mierdas nos inundan amigos, pero siempre habrá gente que siga escuchando música como esta y grupos que siguen ayudando a que lo escuchemos con sus canciones.
