And yet, you have not died Martí, you only sleep;/the earth requested you like a flag
Sin embargo no has muerto José Martí, sólo duermes;/la tierra te pidió como bandera

From my invaded nation,/the battlefield today is independence.
Where does the laughter wander that decorated life/when your heart gathered my sadnesses?
