Nicaragua Nicaraguita
Billy Bragg · Volume 1 [2006]
The most beautiful flower dearest to my heart
The hero and martyr diriangen
Died for you
Nicaraguita
Oh nicaragua you are even sweeter
Than the honey from tamagas
But now that you are free
Nicaraguita
I love you much more
But now that you are free
Nicaraguita
I love you much more
