Lyrics
Paroles de la chanson Canción Para Mi América:
Dale tu mano al indio
Dale que te hara bien
Y encontraras el camino
Como ayer yo lo encontre
Dale tu mano al indio
Dale que te hara bien
Te mojara el sudor santo
De la lucha y el deber
La piel del indio te enseñara
Toda la senda que habras de andar
Manos de cobre te mostraran
Toda la sangre que has de dejar
Dale tu mano al indio
Dale que te hara bien
Y encontraras el camino
Como ayer yo lo encontre
Es el tiempo del cobre
Mestizo grito y fusil
Si no se abren las puertas
El pueblo las ha de abrir
America esta esperando
Y el siglo se vuelve azul
Pampas, rios y montañas
Liberan su propia luz
La copla no tiene dueño
Patrones no mas mandar
La guitarra americana
Peleando aprendio a cantar
Dale tu mano al indio
Dale que te hara bien…

Lyrics of the chanson Song For My America:
Give your hand to the Indian
Give him that he'll do you good.
And you'll find your way
Like yesterday I found him
Give your hand to the Indian
Give him that he'll do you good.
The Holy sweat will wet you
Of struggle and duty
The Indian's skin will teach you
All the way you'll walk
Copper hands will show you
All the blood you have to leave
Give your hand to the Indian
Give him that he'll do you good.
And you'll find your way
Like yesterday I found him
It's copper time
Half-breed scream and rifle
If the doors don't open
The people have to open them.
America is waiting
And the century turns blue
Pampas, rivers and mountains
They release their own light
The copla has no owner
No more boss patterns
The American guitar
Fighting learned to sing
Give your hand to the Indian
Give him that he'll do you good.…
