Lyrics

De nuevo quieren manchar
Mi tierra con sangre obrera
Los que hablan de libertad
Y tienen las manos negras.
Los que quieren dividir
A la madre de sus hijos
Y quieren reconstruir
La cruz que arrastrara cristo.
Quieren ocultar la infamia
Que legaron desde siglos,
Pero el color de asesinos
No borrarÃ¡n de su cara.
Ya fueron miles y miles
Los que entregaron su sangre
Y en caudales generosos
Multiplicaron los panes.
Ahora quiero vivir
Junto a mi hijo y mi hermano
La primavera que todos
Vamos construyendo a diario.
No me asusta la amenaza,
Patrones de la miseria,
La estrella de la esperanza
ContinuarÃ¡ siendo nuestra.
Vientos del pueblo me llaman,
Vientos del pueblo me llevan,
Me esparcen el corazÃ³n
Y me aventan la garganta.
AsÃ cantarÃ¡ el poeta
Mientras el alma me suene
Por los caminos del pueblo
Desde ahora y para siempre.

Lyrics translation

Again they want to stain
My land with workers ' blood
Those who talk about freedom
And their hands are black.
Those who want to divide
To the mother of her children
And they want to rebuild
The cross that Christ would drag.
They want to hide infamy
That bequeathed for centuries,
But the color of killers
You won't erase it from your face.
It's been thousands and thousands
Those who gave up their blood
And in generous flows
They multiplied the loaves.
Now I want to live
With my son and brother
Spring that all
We're building every day.
I'm not afraid of the threat.,
Patterns of misery,
The star of hope
It will remain ours.
Village winds call me,
Village winds carry me,
They spread my heart
And they throw my throat out.
That's how the poet will sing
As long as the soul rings
On the roads of the village
From now on and forever.
