Lyrics

[Intro]
¿Qué tú crees? This is not a game
La patria calls, and we rise again
[Gun cock sound, militant drums enter]
[Verse 1]
They think we're blind to what they do
Crossing lines with papers new
But I see through their disguise
Money talks but truth never dies
Esta tierra es sagrada
Our history won't be erased, nada
You can't buy our dignity
This island stays strong and free
[Pre-chorus]
(¡Despierta!) They're trying to break us down
(¡Levántate!) But we won't lose our crown
(¡Defiéndete!) Our blood runs deep and true
(¡Únete!) This message goes out to you
[Chorus]
Mi bandera no se vende
(Our pride you cannot steal)
Mi bandera no se vende
(Our wounds you cannot heal)
La República en pie se mantiene
Y este pueblo nunca se detiene
¡No se vende! ¡No se rinde!
[Verse 2]
Silent deals in backroom doors
Won't shake the strength of these shores
You can buy their paper lies
But you can't purchase paradise
Mi gente stays united
Your plans will be defeated
Every corner, every street
The truth we'll always speak
[Bridge]
[Spoken with intensity]
Listen close, I'll tell you straight
This land's not yours to manipulate
Our culture's not for sale today
The people's voice won't fade away
[Pre-chorus]
(¡Despierta!) The time has come to rise
(¡Levántate!) No more of their disguise
(¡Defiéndete!) Together we are strong
(¡Únete!) This is where we belong
[Chorus]
Mi bandera no se vende
(Our pride you cannot steal)
Mi bandera no se vende
(Our wounds you cannot heal)
La República en pie se mantiene
Y este pueblo nunca se detiene
¡No se vende! ¡No se rinde!
[Outro]
[Militant drums intensify]
La patria vive, la patria siente
¡Dominicano presente!
[Drums end with power]
