Kris Kristofferson - Mal Sacate Lyrics
Mr. Money Man, I know you've had your way
And I know the way you're winning
And that bloody hand you're holding
Ain't no bargain at the price you had to pay
And you killed so many heroes
But the dreams they left behind them
Ain't as easy as a man to blow away
And they say, "el mal sacate ni el fuego lo quema"
And los mexicanos dicen, "cosa mala nunca muere"
Don't you know?
The fire don't burn a bad weed boy
And a bad thing never dies
The broken wounded body of El Salvador
They killed so many heroes
Like Zapata (Presente!) and Fonseca (Presente!)
And Sandino (Presente!) and Guevarra (Presente!)
And Allende (Presente!) and Aquino (Presente!)
And Steve Biko (Presente!)
But they can never kill the human spirit
NOT IN NICARAGUA!
And they say, "el mal sacate ni el fuego lo quema"
And los mexicanos dicen, "cosa mala nunca muere"
Don't you know?

We should be ashamed how we have exploited South America of it's resources .

Kris, t 'es un enfoiré.
J'aime ce que tu fais
Mais défendre des assassins.
Guevarra et ses 660 victimes revendiquées
Des dictateurs en puissance, genre Allende
Non, niet, no.
Can anyone tell the meaning of "Mal Sacate", please? Thanks
grass, straw..... bad weed, even fire doesn't burn it
(Thank you, Elisabeth and Carson! 😇)

tried to find this on iTunes and failed. does anyone have any info on where i can buy it on cd or an album i could find it on iTunes ???? cheers :D
+shaun graham you can buy this with this cd. This actually is a double album of the two albums "Repossessed"(1986) and "Third War Warrior"(1990) which you probably won't get for that low price...

one of the best! Thanks Kris
Watch also: "Man of sorrow" by Michael CC Irving under "Mike Irving man of sorrow" on youtube!
Fuck you Kris, I love your music but how can you support the likes of Allende.You did not live it
One of the best Kris songs I`ve ever heard, hubby played it so many times he broke the tape and we had to buy a new one afte a short time......Love it Tina, guess I`ve told you before, but I want to give this a new start........lol
Thank you... this was one of my first very favourites of Kris...
Como dicen en esta parte del charco Valencia-España, ni el fuego lo quema, la hierba mala nunca muere.
Un abrazo
Thank you :-)
Glad you like it, thank you!
Brilliant Tina! I Love it!

Thanks for commenting :-)
Love this song. Great job as usual Tina, thank you.
Thank you for listening, watching AND reading :-) And thanks for your comment and the nice words... I'm glad you like the videos.
BiggestKKfan, thank you for these vids, they are awesome. I have loved and watched Kris since I was a small kid, and seeing him in so many different phases through your videos is awesome. Thank you for putting them up, and the information you share with them. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Biggest, Aitn't heard this one yet THANKS
So many people died in nicaragua for a cause. But today the sandinistas are corrupted millionaires and ortega and family probably billionaires , was there a real revolution? Just be honest . Did people died for all that corruption ?
Frank Zapata Same story in South Africa
Bullshit! reactionary, anyone?
@JamesMoore98 Thanks, Jim, I'm glad you like them, and thanks a lot for your nice comments :-)
I had no idea that you were making some of these videos yourself. That just adds a new dimension to my respect and admiration for you. Thank you again biggestkrisfan for a song that I have never heard of until now and the beauty of the video that you put together to go with it.
Jim Moore
@ItsWaldo ... actually, I've just revised my original vid, adding a few scenes, mostly with Kris in them, and some motions to the pics using some features that I didn't have with my software two or almost three years ago... I'm glad you like it.
@touttamoi Thanks :-)
@ilaiza He really did? Wow, I would love to hear him sing it in a live show... have "stolen" the scenes in here, that may look like he was singing it, from "Aguila del Norte"
you know it's one of my most favorites.... you did a great great work (again) here. listening it for the 4th time and as always singing it loud loud ... and they say el malsacate ni el fuego lo quema, y los mejicanos dicen cosa mal nunca muere, don't you know :))
ay ay ayyy Nicaraguaaa
You know that the only time Kris came here on TV, in the 80s he sang this one?
Another great KK song and a beautiful video.
Thanks for sharing.
Masterpiece as usual - thank you!
@Daniaboot Thanks, Billy... it was my first album of Kris, has been one my most favorite lol songs since then and will forever.
@JamesMoore98 You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by and commenting... And for the thumb up :-)
@Daniaboot hmm... just some pics to it? Can't find a movie that would fit... Or do you have any idea??
Thank you to krisfan for all the hard to find videos of Kris that he has found and posted
Oh ... by the way (btw) Biggie .... where the hell is "Josie?" ... 104 videos (vids) and you can't upload Josie? I thought you loved me ...!!!
Fuckin' great Biggie ... haven't heard the song before and I love the vid (video for old farts like me) ...
