Amanece, lo veis?, a la luz de la aurora?
lo que tanto aclamamos la noche caer?
sus estrellas sus franjas
flotaban ayer
en el fiero combate
en señal de victoria,
fulgor de lucha, al paso de la libertada.
Por la noche decían:
"Se va defendiendo!"
Oh decid! Despliega aún
Voz a su hermosura estrellada,
sobre tierra de libres,
la bandera sagrada?
Sus estrellas, sus franjas,
la libertad, somos iguales.
Somos hermanos, en nuestro himno.
En el fiero combate en señal de victoria,
Fulgor de lucha, al paso de la libertada.
Mi gente sigue luchando.
Ya es tiempo de romper las cadenas.
Por la noche decían: "!Se va defendiendo!"
Oh decid! Despliega aún su hermosura estrellada
sobre tierra de libres,
la bandera sagrada?
I'm guessing those are the lyrics to the Spanish version of the national anthem, entitled "Our Anthem". What do I win?
One of the day laborers from Weanie Beanie.
That Eddie Guardado, what a jokester...
"Mariners ringleader Adrian Beltre, whose father-in-law in California took the day off as part of the national boycott by immigration activists, got Seattle's foreign-born Latin players together to tell manager Mike Hargrove they felt honor-bound to honor the boycott, too, according to the SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER.
Eddie Guardado, American-born but whose father was born in Mexico, acted as the spokesman for the group, which included Yuniesky Betancourt (Cuba), Beltre (Dominican Republic), Jose Lopez (Venezuela), Rafael Soriano (Dominican Republic), Roberto Petagine (Venezuela) and Julio Mateo (Dominican Republic).
The group asked Hargrove for a moment to talk in his office. Hargrove ushered them in, and Guardado broke the news that the group wasn't going to be able to play.
"Three times he asked, 'Are you serious?' " Beltre said. "He really bought it."
Guardado, usually the best of the Mariners at holding a joke in, was the one who gave it away finally. When Hargrove finally realized he'd been had, a huge roar of laughter came from his office, and the players were beside themselves with a case of the giggles."
Kind of funny to see the .001% that has made their fortune publicly making light of the cause.
Not true! Hippies make the burritos in Athens.
The same goes for Gainesville.
