Rubén Blades

Rubén Blades Bellido de Luna (Spanish pronunciation: [ruˈβen ˈbleðz]; born July 16, 1948) professionally known as Rubén Blades is a Panamanian salsa singer, songwriter, actor, Latin jazz musician, and activist, performing musically most often in the Afro-Cuban and Latin jazz genres. As songwriter, Blades brought the lyrical sophistication of Central American nueva canción and Cuban nueva trova as well as experimental tempos and politically inspired Nuyorican salsa to his music, creating thinking persons' (salsa) dance music. Blades has composed dozens of musical hits, the most famous of which is "Pedro Navaja," a song about a neighborhood thug who appears to die during a robbery (his song "Sorpresas" continues the story), inspired by "Mack the Knife."

Impulsado por la fuerza de su mente
En la soledad de su imaginación
Con la fe que hace al mortal omnipotente
Sobre la frente del sol, viaja Colón

Lo acompañan el rebelde
El incrédulo, el valiente
La esperanza y la desesperación
Los futuros militares
Caudillos y cardenales
La guerrilla y el germen de una nación

El plebeyo junto al noble
En el mismo pasodoble
Por el oro y la pasión por la Conquista
Y Colón es su Almirante
Y Dios porta el estandarte 
De Castilla y Aragón imperialista

Viajan diablos y madonas
Ignorancias y diplomas
Idealistas, mercenarios y patriotas
Inocentes y culpables
Ricos, pobres, miserables
Hermanados en su búsqueda de gloria

Ese fué el mejor momento 
De la gran equivocación
Cuando, frente a lo imposible
Late un sólo corazón

Comenzaron 
Apostando el alma
Con la esperanza invencible 
Del que ha sido un perdedor
Terminaron 
Humillando al cielo
Destrozando sus estrellas 
Y orinándose en la luna y en el sol

La cruz que luego bendijo el genocidio 
Fué la que al principio habló de amor
La injusticia no termina para el indio
Cinco siglos no han calmado su dolor

Positivo y negativo 
Se confunden en la herencia 
Del 1492
Hoy, sin ánimo de ofensa 
Hacia el que distinto piensa
Conmemoro pero sin celebración
