Here's a poem I wrote to honor this special holiday, I posted both the Latin and English version!!! YAY!!!



¡Viva Cinco de Mayo!
By: Noah Eaton
5/5/02



Venga ahora, es tiempo de obtener loco
Asga una sosa de coco, tenga una raja de flan, y salve la tradición
Respire el quenas y pampanas y strum el charango
Contra el creciente del sol rojo de Chile

Inunde las calles y llene los canales con gritos de flamenco
Con strumming de corazones de samba aprecia un desfile de Carnaval
Obtenga a su amante, recite el bandeneon, y baile su tango
El golpe a tambores diferentes y da cada estribillo algún meringue

Porque en este día que antedatar a 1862
Honoramos la libertad y la libertad dos acción colorada de naciones
La paz que trae a tanto a México como América nosotros abrigamos verdadero
El pueblo que libera en el este de la batalla de la Ciudad de México sin el temor o la desesperación

Gracias al Coronel Diaz y Ignacio Zaragosa General, la justicia se sirvió
Ayudar dirige una caballería dos veces tan grande como Napoleon, y como finalizar nuestra Guerra Civil
América que une a derrotar el confederates y la libertad de México que salen aseguraron
Traer los colores verdaderos del consuelo y la gratitud juntas, para celebrar forevermore

Así que reúne a todos sus niños redondos y rompe el pinata
Y ase su sombrero y abofetea en su sarape
Para la herencia que compartimos vive en y en
Beborrotee un vidrio agradable de Tampico y permitanos la extensión el partido entre usted y mí

¡VIVA! CINCO DE MAYO!!
Esparza sus colores y la huelga vibrantes arriba la banda de mariachi
¡VIVA! CINCO DE MAYO!!
Cave en algún poblano delicioso de lunar y cante su canción
Y puede este partido dura todo el día..




(English Translation)

Cinco de Mayo
By: Noah Eaton
5/5/02




Come on now, it's time to get loco
Grab a coconut soda, have a slice of flan, and save the tradition
Breathe the quenas and pampanas and strum the charango
Against the rising of the red chile sun


Flood the streets and fill the canals with shouts of flamenco
With samba hearts strumming like a Carnival parade
Get your lover, recite the bandeneon, and dance your tango
Beat to different drums and give each refrain some meringue


Because on this day that dates back to 1862
We honor the freedom and liberty two colorful nations share
Bringing peace to both Mexico and America we cherish true
Liberating Pueblo in battle east of Mexico City without fear or despair


Thanks to Colonel Diaz and General Ignacio Zaragosa, justice was served
Helping lead a cavalry twice as large as Napoleon's, and ending our Civil War
Uniting America in defeating the confederates and leaving Mexico's liberty insured
Bringing true colors of solace and gratitude together, to celebrate forevermore


So gather all your children round and break the pinata
And grab your sombrero and slap on your sarape
For the heritage we share lives on and on
Sip a nice glass of Tampico and let's spread the party between you and me


¡VIVA! el CINCO DEMAYO!!
Spread your vibrant colors and strike up the mariachi band
¡VIVA! el CINCO DEMAYO!!
Dig into some delicious mole poblano and sing your song
And may this party last all day long...





Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story

Sorry for my absence during the daytime the past few days everyone, I was embracing the spirit of the celebration in the day and studying hard at night! Had to get my Latin soul singing now!



Love,
Noah Eaton
