The people of San Miguel are calm and serene; we avoid conflicts and war.
All year round, we cultivate our subsistence crops to support our children.
San Miguel of my soul, beloved San Miguel, despite the poverty, we continue with our farming.
Yuca, plantains, and lemons, some crops of our region that we harvest with love.
Let’s not talk about war anymore and return to enjoying life, to see our children grow and cultivate our land.
My God, my God, we no longer want war in San Miguel; we only want your presence and your power to remain.
