César Chávez said
Today I will not eat.
No grapes, no rice, no beans
No tomatoes, potatoes... just water
César Chávez said
the people are abused
on the farms that make our food
I won't eat anything til they do
He fasted for
1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8, 9. 10 days
but he wasn't done
He said no food please
11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17,
18. 19,
20 - 25 (in Spanish)
César Chávez decía
Hoy no voy a comer.
Ni uvas, ni arroz, ni frijoles
Ni jitomates, ni papas, nomás* agua
Spanish words that follow say roughly the same thing as English words above.
César Chávez decía
La gente es maltratada
En las granjas que nos dan la comida
No comeré antes que el cosechero.
El ayunó uno dos tres cuatro cinco
Seis siete ocho nueve diez once días
Pero no había terminado.
Fue sin comer día y noche once doce catorce
Quince dieciséis diecisiete
Dieciocho
Diecinueve
20-25.
