Mi Nicaragua

by Luis Garcia

Mi Nicaragua is a place where you sudar como a chicharon

My Nicaragua is where you could eat cheese and salty queso y bean enchiladas

Mi Nicaragua is where you could take a shower en la noche and a shower en la lluvia

My Nicaragua is where you could take a shower con agua fria

Mi Nicaragua is where you have your zapstos on, it sweats like rain

My Nicaragua is where me parents se separaron like un palo breaking apart.

I AM NICARAGUA

Mi Nicaragua is where bastante de mi familia murieron

My Nicaragua is where I felt trembling and shaking in my stomach cuando the air plane takes off

Mi Nicaragua is when my stomach estaba rumbling y no se if it was of my hunger or the airplane engine

If my Nicaragua estuviera aqui yo estuviera playing naked in the streets con my brothers y hermana

(Music: "La Rama" by Sistema Bomb)
