Irmaus

Many men walk beside me,Camiñan o meu rente moitos homes,
I don't hold them. They seem strange to me.non os ceñezo. Sonme estrano.
But you, who are far away,Pero tí que te alcontras alá lonxe,
beyond the deserts and lakes,mais alá dos desertos e dos lagos,
beyond the savannas and islands,mais alá das sabanas e das illas,
like a brother I speak to you.coma un irmau che falo.
If my night is yours,Si é tua a miña noite,
if my eyes shed tears for your weeping,si choran os meus ollos o teu pranto,
if our dreams are the same,si os nosos soños son iguales,
like a brother I speak to you.coma un irmáu che falo.
Even if our words are differentAnque as nosas palabras sexan distintas
and you are black and I am white,e tí negro i eu branco,
and we have similar wounds,e tendo semellantes as feridas,
like a brother I speak to you.coma un irmáu che falo.
Above all borders,Por enriba de tódalas fronteiras,
above walls and fences,por enriba de muros e valados,
if our cries are the same,si os nosos berros son igoales,
like a brother I speak to you.coma un irmáu che falo.
We share the same homeland,Común témo-la patria,
we both fight together,común a loita ambos,
what I give you is my love,a miña amu che dou,
like a brother I speak to you.coma un irmáu che falo.
If you feel poverty,Se sintes en probeza,
if you suffer injustice,se sofres inxusticia,
if full of angerse cheo de rabexa
you lock up in the cageencirras á cobiza
of your chest the dog,do teu peito o can,
for you full of strengthpra tí chea de forza
go my hand, brother.vai miña mau, irmán.
