Ballad Of The Cuban Invasion
A thousand went to take the island
Chances strong(?) as broken twigs
And a thousand stayed there at the island
Met their fate fate at the Bay of Pigs
They were told when they arrived
They'd be helped by Castro's men
But they found out, those who survived
That the CIA was wrong again
Why were they wearing my country clothes?
Why were they spending my country's gold?
Who were the friends and who were the foes?
The headlines were lying, why wasn't I told?
(repeat first verse)
Balada da Invasão Cubana
Mil foram pra tomar a ilha
Com chances tão fracas quanto galhos quebrados
E mil ficaram lá na ilha
Encontraram seu destino na Baía dos Porcos
Disseram a eles quando chegaram
Que seriam ajudados pelos homens de Castro
Mas descobriram, os que sobreviveram
Que a CIA estava errada de novo
Por que estavam vestindo as roupas do meu país?
Por que estavam gastando o ouro do meu país?
Quem eram os amigos e quem eram os inimigos?
As manchetes estavam mentindo, por que não me contaram?
(repetir o primeiro verso)
