To the Cuban doctor teams from
"Henry Reeve" international contingent

There, at the edge of irrevocable abyss,
Where Life engages in its battle with Death,
It is not the martyrs who were being missed,
But those who march together in their ranks.

To all martyrs, including the unknown ones,
A place in paradise had been reserved,
The best one in the heavenly sanatorium,
Where angels sang hosanna to their souls.

But different songs Time wants to hear: about
Those overthrowing Darkness with the flame of Hearts,
Who fight their battle for Life shoulder to shoulder
And silently stand in the way of Troubles.

Skies don't need Heroes, but their place is here.
And when the planet Earth is in the Clouds
The ones who fight for Life, march hero next to hero.
It's people who need the Heroes. On the ground.
