English translation Stand up, look at the mountains source of the wind, the sun, the water. you who change the course of rivers, who, with the seed, sow the flight of your soul, Stand up, look at your hands, Give to your hand to your brother so you can grow. We'll go together, united by blood, Today is the day we can make the future. |
Deliver us from the master who keeps us in misery. Thy kingdom of justice and equality come. Blow, like the wind blows the wild flowers of the mountain pass. Clean the barrel of my gun like fire Thy will be done at last on earth give us your strength and courage to struggle. Blow, like the wind blows the wild flowers of the mountain pass. Clean the barrel of my gun like fire Stand up, look at your hands, Give to your hand to your brother so you can grow. We'll go together, united by blood, Now and in the hour of our death. Amen. |
