A Song from Here

Una Cancion de Aqui

I truly love my countryA mi país yo lo quiero de veras
because it taught me to raise its flagpues me ha enseñado a izar su bandera
it gave me a home where I learnedme dio una casa donde aprendí
that lies are not useful for livingque la mentira no sirve para vivir

With the color that its landscape gave meCon el color que me dio su paisaje
as a child, it has been painted with bloodde niño se ha ido pintando de sangre
and its throat is all my voicey es su garganta toda mi voz
which is clear and pure, but murky in its painque es clara y pura, pero turbia en su dolor

I was born in this countryYo he nacido en este país
and here I also want to diey aquí también quiero morir
but I would like to see it laugh oncepero quisiera alguna vez verlo reír
let's leave all ambitiondejemos toda la ambición
selfishness and evilel egoísmo y la maldad
it's time to give it a little peacellego la hora de darle un poco de paz

It's not so difficult to agreeNo es tan difícil ponernos de acuerdo,
we just need to know that we cansolo hace falta saber que podemos,
set aside the singulardejar de lado el singular
to lend a hand to otherspara brindarle una mano a los demás.

From the interior, I love my countrymenDel interior yo quiero a mis paisanos
who always give without asking for anything in returnque siempre dan sin pedir nada a cambio,
they cultivate their freedomellos cultivan su libertad
and work to offer us bready lo trabajan para ofrecernos el pan.

Their heart is a world of peopleSu corazón es un mundo de gente
who crowd together and clench their teethque se amontonan y aprietan sus dientes,
to see that it's hard to progresssi ves que es duro tu progresar
don't give up, not everything is in the capitalno te me caigas, no todo es la capital.

ChorusRefão

We can't deceive ourselvesNo nos podemos engañar,
time is running outel tiempo se nos va a acabar,
I want us to find the truth togetherquiero que juntos encontremos la verdad.
We all have to understandTodos tenemos que entender
that together we can growque juntos podemos crecer,
give me your hand and let's go once and for alldame tu mano y vamos de una buena vez.
