Johnson I’m going to sing a corrido Perhaps an homage, Because I was deeply affected The moment I learned That the President, L. B. Johnson, Will not return to his office. The date was made famous As even the whole world was astonished, With only a few words Even the ground trembled, He showed the openness of a great person In the way that he spoke. The thirty-first of March On Sunday was heard, All over the continent The entire world was astonished, “So there will be peace on the earth This is what I have to offer. “I don’t want to endanger The final effort, That would end the war And the deaths in Viet Nam, I am returning to private life With the hope of peace.” With dignity and confidence He told his nation, The President, L. B. Johnson, Made his declaration, “For the unity of my country I will not accept re-election.” With the nobility of a great person He made his greatest effort, Upon stopping the bombing The war slowed down, Giving hope to the dream That Johnson had hoped for. Now with this I take my leave But don’t any of you forget, That the year 1968 Will go down in history, The President, L. B. Johnson, Will be a man of peace. By Jose Morante, Nortetio Int’l. Pub.-BMI.
