City in a third world country,
One of the most violent in the world,
Dirty, poor, ugly
City of corruption and robbery.
And all this characteristics I agree with,
They tell me you are dangerous and I believe them, for I
Have seen the victims of murder, rape and kidnap.
They tell me you are cruel and I believe them, for I
Have seen people die of hunger and disease with no one to help them.
They tell me you are corrupt and my answer is: Yes,
I have seen the government steal and take advantage of their people.
And having answered so I turn once more to those who
sneer at this my city, and I give them back the sneer and say to them:
Come and show me another city with the joy and enthusiasm of this one
So proud to defend their principles and fight anyone who contradicts them.
Brave enough to take away from power
Tyrants and corrupt leaders.
Cheerful when seeing soccer,
forgetting all their problems and worries.
Always eager to learn,
Although not always available.
Always ready to overcome difficulties,
Even in the worst scenarios.
Loving, grateful, passionate and joyful;
This is the personality of my third world country city.
