The bird sings He cries He screams The words of the great and free Of the one. He who took it all And he the one who cried "I am the one! The one to end it all And begin the new time Of me." Screams disappear into the forests His eyes glimmer He fights in stone And sets in metal The iron gaze to the right By the disgrace of God The people are gone Never to tell their tales Of this suffering In his hands Señores, this is all we have left It won't buy you a loaf of bread But it may buy him a heart for him to feast on.

Cinco Pesetas
The bird sings He cries He screams The words of the great and free Of the one. He who took it all And he the one who cried "I am the one! The one to end it all And begin the new time Of me." Screams disappear into the forests His eyes glimmer He fights in stone And sets in metal The iron gaze to the right By the disgrace of God The people are gone Never to tell their tales Of this suffering In his hands Señores, this is all we have left It won't buy you a loaf of bread But it may buy him a heart for him to feast on.
I found a Spanish coin from 1949 featuring Francisco Franco. It made me think.
