Brazos pra seitura

Arms for Harvesting

Brazos pra seitura

The wind of emigrationO vento da emigración
destroyed our land,arrasou a nosa terra,
the old ones lie down,os vellos laian,
the children cry.os nenos, berran.
Fifty years ago,Fai anos cincoenta,
today not even twenty,hoxe nin vinte hai,
the harvest month arriveschega o més da sega
who will harvest?¿quen seiturará?
Fifteen in Switzerland,Quince na Suiza,
twelve beyond the sea,doce alen do mar,
three in the south of Francetres no sul da Francia
who will harvest?¿quen seiturará?
Twenty-two remainingDos vinte que quedan
ten to work,dez a traballar,
seven of them childrensete que son nenos
who will harvest?¿quen seiturará?
Three old ones waitingTres vellos que agardan
till death arrives,a morte chegar,
with their bodies worn outco corpo engurrado
who will harvest?¿quen seiturará?
Men and women,Homes e mulleres,
we must sowhai que sementar
our truth,a nosa verdade,
fight for it.por ela loitar.
Let's close the doors,Pechemo-las portas,
so they don't escape anymore,que non fuxan máis,
for if they all leavepois se van todos
who will harvest?¿quen seiturará?.
