Latinoamérica (part. Totó La Momposina, Susana Baca y Maria Rita)

I am, I am it that they leftSoy, soy lo que dejaron
I am all the leftovers of what they stoleSoy toda la sobra de lo que se robaron
A village hidden at the topUn pueblo escondido en la cima
My skin is leather, so it can withstand any climateMi piel es de cuero, por eso aguanta cualquier clima

I am a smoke factorySoy una fábrica de humo
Peasant labor for your consumptionMano de obra campesina para tu consumo
Cold front in the middle of summerFrente de frío en el medio del verano
Love in the Time of Cholera, My BrotherEl amor en los tiempos del cólera, mi hermano

I am the Sun that rises and the day that diesSoy el Sol que nace y el día que muere
With the best sunsetsCon los mejores atardeceres
I am development in the rawSoy el desarrollo en carne viva
A political speech without salivaUn discurso político sin saliva

The most beautiful faces I have ever metLas caras más bonitas que he conocido
I am the photograph of a missing personSoy la fotografía de un desaparecido
The blood inside your veinsLa sangre dentro de tus venas
I am a piece of land worth itSoy un pedazo de tierra que vale la pena

A basket with beansUna canasta con frijoles
I'm Maradona against England, scoring two goalsSoy Maradona contra Inglaterra, anotándote dos goles
I am what holds my flagSoy lo que sostiene mi bandera
The backbone of the planet is my mountain rangeLa espina dorsal del planeta es mi cordillera

I am what my father taught meSoy lo que me enseñó mi padre
He who does not love his country, does not love his motherEl que no quiere a su patría, no quiere a su madre
I am Latin AmericaSoy América Latina
A people without legs, but that walks, hey!Un pueblo sin piernas, pero que camina, ¡oye!

A desert intoxicated with peyoteUn desierto embriagado con peyote
A sip of pulque to sing with the coyotesUn trago de pulque para cantar con los coyotes
All I needTodo lo que necesito
I have my lungs breathing light blueTengo a mis pulmones respirando azul clarito

The height that suffocatesLa altura que sofoca
I am the molars of my mouth, chewing cocaineSoy las muelas de mi boca, mascando coca
Autumn with its fainting leavesEl otoño con sus hojas desmayadas
The verses written under the starry nightLos versos escritos bajo la noche estrellada

A vineyard full of grapesUna viña repleta de uvas
A sugarcane field under the Sun in CubaUn cañaveral bajo el Sol en Cuba
I am the Caribbean Sea that watches over the little housesSoy el mar Caribe que vigila las casitas

The wind that combs my hairEl viento que peina mis cabellos
I am all the saints that hang from my neckSoy todos los santos que cuelgan de mi cuello
The juice of my struggle is not artificialEl jugo de mi lucha no es artificial

(Let's go walking) no laughter and no love(Vamos caminando) no riso e no amor
(We are walking) not soon in the morning(Vamos caminando) no pranto e na dor

(Let's draw the path) the Sun(Vamos dibujando el camino) el Sol
You can't buy my lifeNo puedes comprar mi vida
(Let's walk) the earth(Vamos caminando) la tierra
Not for saleNo se vende

Hard work, but with prideTrabajo bruto, pero con orgullo
Here we share, what's mine is yoursAquí se comparte, lo mío es tuyo
This town is not drowning in the noiseEste pueblo no se ahoga con marullo
And if it collapses, I will rebuild itY si se derrumba, yo lo reconstruyo

I don't even blink when I look at youTampoco pestañeo cuando te miro
So you remember my last namePara que te recuerdes de mi apellido
Operation Condor invading my nestLa Operación Cóndor invadiendo mi nido
I forgive, but I never forget, hey!Perdono, pero nunca olvido, ¡oye!

(Let's go walking)(Vamos caminando)
Here you can breathe struggleAquí se respira lucha
(Let's go walking)(Vamos caminando)
I sing because it is heardYo canto porque se escucha
(We are drawing the path) voices of a heart(Vamos dibujando el camino) vozes de um só coração
(We're walking) here we are standing(Vamos caminando) aquí estamos de pie

Long live America!¡Que viva la América!

You can't buy my lifeNo puedes comprar mi vida
