lyrics

Paz Para Vieques (E. Beaumont)

Don’t denigrate this; let’s celebrate this
Finally, paz para Vieques
70-year-old grannies stopped the madness,
filled the Puerto Rican population with gladness

Now they’re telling the U.S.
that they love the U.S.
They say they don’t hate us
for nearly killing Vieques

Ain’t that a gasser? Peace for our friends?
About time for the Cold War to end
No enemies left, not even the Cubans
The Puerto Rican people are telling the truth man and

they’re telling the U.S.
that they love the U.S.
They say they don’t hate us
for nearly killing Vieques

This historic date feels great, this
¡Viva paz para Vieques!
70-year-old grannies stopped the madness,
Sixty years of suffering ending in gladness
