Canción Por La Unidad de Latino America

The birth of a worldEl nacimiento de un mundo
Was postponed for a momentSe aplazó por un momento
It was a brief lapse of timeFue un breve lapso del tiempo
A second in the universeDel universo un segundo

However, it seemedSin embargo parecia
That everything was going to endQue todo se iba a acabar
With the deadly distanceCon la distancia mortal
That separated our livesQue separó nuestras vidas

They were carrying out the taskRealizavan la labor
Of disuniting our handsDe desunir nossas mãos
And making the brothersE fazer com que os irmãos
Look at each other with fearSe mirassem com temor

As the years passedCunado passaron los años
Resentments accumulatedSe acumularam rancores
Loves were forgottenSe olvidaram os amores
We seemed like strangersParecíamos estraños

What a painful distanceQue distância tão sofrida
What a separated worldQue mundo tão separado
Would never have metJamás se hubiera encontrado
Without bringing new livesSin aportar nuevas vidas

And who guarantees that HistoryE quem garante que a História
Is an abandoned cartÉ carroça abandonada
On the side of the roadNuma beira de estrada
Or at a inglorious stationOu numa estação inglória

History is a joyful cartA História é um carro alegre
Full of a happy peopleCheio de um povo contente
That runs over indifferentlyQue atropela indiferente
Anyone who denies itTodo aquele que a negue

It's a train laying tracksÉ um trem riscando trilhos
Opening new spacesAbrindo novos espaços
Waving many armsAcenando muitos braços
Swinging our childrenBalançando nossos filhos

What shines with its own lightLo que brilla con luz propia
No one can extinguishNadie lo puede apagar
Its brightness can reachSu brillo puede alcanzar
The darkness of other shoresLa oscuridad de otras costas

Who will prevent the flameQuem vai impedir que a chama
From illuminating the sceneSaia iluminando o cenário
From setting fire to the assemblySaia incendiando o plenário
From inventing another plotSaia inventando outra trama

Who will prevent the windsQuem vai evitar que os ventos
From knocking on poorly closed doorsBatam portas mal fechadas
Turning over poorly tilled landsRevirem terras mal socadas
And spreading our sorrowsE espalhem nossos lamentos

And finally, who pays the regretE enfim quem paga o pesar
Of the time that was spentDo tempo que se gastou
Of the lives it costDe las vidas que costó
Of those it may costDe las que puede costar

A star has already been launchedJá foi lançada uma estrela
For those who can seePra quem souber enxergar
For those who want to reachPra quem quiser alcançar
And walk embraced by itE andar abraçado nela

A star has already been launchedJá foi lançada um estrela
For those who can seePra quem souber enxergar
For those who want to reachPra quem quiser alcançar
And walk embraced by itE andar abraçado nela
