Lyrics
Dale tu mano al indio
Dale que te hará bien
Y encontrarás el camino
Como ayer yo lo encontré
Dale tu mano al indio
Dale que te hará bien
Te mojara el sudor santo
De la lucha y el deber
La piel del indio te enseñará
Toda las sendas que habrás de andar
Manos de cobre te mostrarán (1)
Toda la sangre que has de dejar
Dale tu mano al indio
Dale que te hará bien
Y encontrarás el camino
Como ayer yo lo encontré
Es el tiempo del cobre
Mestizo, grito y fusil
Si no se abren las puertas (2)
El pueblo las ha de abrir
América esta esperando (3)
Y el siglo se vuelve azul
Pampas, ríos y montañas
Liberan su propia luz
La copla no tiene dueño (4)
Patrones no más mandar
La guitarra americana
Peleando aprendió a cantar — (bis)
Obs: no álbum «en vivo"(uruguay — 1.978), que foi gravado em várias localidades

Lyrics translation
Give your hand to the Indian
Give it to him that will do you good
And you'll find your way
Like yesterday I found it
Give your hand to the Indian
Give it to him that will do you good
The Holy sweat will wet you
Of struggle and duty
The Indian's skin will teach you
All the paths you'll walk
Copper hands will show you (1)
All the blood you have to leave
Give your hand to the Indian
Give it to him that will do you good
And you'll find your way
Like yesterday I found it
It's copper time
Mongrel, scream and rifle
If the doors are not opened (2)
The people have to open them.
America is waiting (3)
And the century turns blue
Pampas, rivers and mountains
They release their own light
The copla has no owner (4)
No more boss patterns
The American guitar
Fighting learned to sing — (bis)
