Then and now
The country with the red and white flag
Dancing with the wind on top of the pole
Was different back then
Old Order was reigning
Many ideologies adopted
Communism was born
Planning was uncertain
Different new rules were being made
Objectives upon holding our stand of independence
The era ends
And hereby comes the New Order
With changes in the country's structure
To improve it and make it better
Everything started to evolve
Now, all that happened created current problems
New people, new systems, new ways
Modernizing, expanding, globalizing
Looking back to the past
Taught very valuable life lessons
For the present, 'til the future
