CANCIÓN PARA MI AMÉRICA | GIVE YOUR HAND TO THE INDIAN |
Dale tu mano al indio Dale que te hará bien Y encontrarás el camino Como ayer yo lo encontré | Give your hand to the Indian. He will show you the way. He will take you with him, Where he took me yesterday. |
Dale tu mano al indio Dale que te hará bien Te mojara el sudor santo De la lucha y el deber | Give your hand to the Indian. Go with him out of the night. Let him have your arm and he Will show you how to fight. |
La piel del indio te enseñará Toda las sendas que habrás de andar Manos de cobre te mostrarán Toda la sangre que has de dejar | Red is the hand that shows the path Where all our feet will have to go. Red is the color of our wrath, Red as the blood that still must flow. |
Es el tiempo del cobre Mestizo, grito y fusil Si no se abren las puertas El pueblo las ha de abrir | Now is the copper hour; Mestizo! rifle and vow. If the doors won't open, We will make them open now. |
América esta esperando Y el siglo se vuelve azul Pampas, ríos y montañas Liberan su propia luz | Ou America cries out warning. See how the sky is turning bright. And all the mountains of our morning Are alive with the burning light. |
La copla no tiene dueño Patrones no más mandar La guitarra americana Peleando aprendió a cantar | Our songs want no more owners. El Patron no longer commands. La Guitarra Americana Learns to play with fighting hands! La Guitarra Americana Learns to play with fighting hands! La Guitarra Americana Learns to play with fighting hands! |
