NOTE: I have 4 years of high school Spanish still somewhat fresh in my mind,
but if I managed to screw up the translation, let me know.


INTRO: A

     D                                A
Sandinista, you can hold your head up high
                           E                                 A
You have given back their freedom, you have lived up to your name
      D                           A
Sandinista, may your spirit never die
                     E                                  A
Hold a canlde to the darkness, you're the keeper of the flame

     D                            A
Sandinista, keep believin' in the dream
                               E                                A
The truth is stronger than the shadows, keep it shinin' in your eyes
      D                          A
Sandinista, may the soldiers disappear
                        E                                    A
May your children live forever, may their laughter fill your life

D                                  A
   Sandinista,las fuerzas de la oscuridad

Nunca pueden extinguir la puridad de tu llama revolutionaria
E
  Con su terror y sus mentiras
A
  Con su dinero y sus maquinas
D
  La libertad en tus ojos
A
  El amor caliente en tu corazon
E                                                A
  Son fuerzas mas poderosas que las armas de la guerra

      D                                A
Sandinista, you can hold your head up high
                          E                                  A
You have given back their freedom, you have lived up to your name
     D                            A
Sandinista, may your spirit never die
                      E                                  A
Hold a candle to the darkness, you're the keeper of the flame



* 
  Sandinista, the fires of the darkness
Can never extinquish the purity of your revolutionary flame
With their terror and their lies
With their money and their machines
The liberty en your eyes
The burning love in your heart
Are fires more powerful than the weapons of war
