about

The crisis in Venezuela is an ongoing socioeconomic and political crisis that began in Venezuela during the presidency of Hugo Chávez and has deepened in Nicolas Maduro presidency. It has been marked by hyperinflation, escalating starvation, disease, crime and mortality rates, resulting in massive emigration from the country.

More than one-sixth of the population has left Venezuela since 2015, or 5.6 million out of a population of 30 million. As quoted in The Guardian, Eduardo Stein, special representative of the UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, and the International Organization for Migration (IOM), said on June 21, “Never in our history in Latin America have we faced such movement of people out of a country that was one of the richest in the region and a country that is not at war. Whatever fails in one of the largest and richest countries in the subcontinent is going to affect the rest of the region. Latin America will never be the same.”

lyrics

Verse (A1): Angelina, mi amor
Chavismo and Maduro have cut you to the core
Such unlucky stars, only I have seen your scars
We still have vertigo
My angel in the snow

Verse (A2): Angelina, mi corazón
La revolution has bled you to the bone
Such unhappy times. How could we ignore the signs?
As above and so below
My angel in the snow.

Bridge (B): Venezuela, desafortunada
We had no choice, we had to let you go
The tsunami was upon us. Barely fled the undertow
Chavista goons (punks, thugs, creeps) came for me
In an armoured black sedan.
Somehow, we made El Norte, via Yucatan

Verse (A3): Venezuela, I still see you in my dreams
So sad your air full of poison, your water, kerosene
Such unhappy days.
We’re lonesome castaways
We’ll fight the undertow
My angel in the snow.
