The Essequibo

El Esequibo

Years of waiting for a piece of landAños de espera por un pedazo de tierra
Since we have reasonDesde que tenemos uso de razón
His face appears on maps behind barsSu cara aparece en los mapas tras rejas
Without an owner, without a home, and without a nationSin dueño, sin casa y sin nación
And without a nation!¡Y sin nación!

While the land sleeps awaiting its destinyMientras la tierra duerme en espera de su destino
It continues to reflect sadness for a wounded gulfNo deja de reflejar tristeza por un golfo malherido
Distant relatives, brothersParientes lejanos, hermanos
United by a single cry of an impassioned peopleUnidos por un solo grito de un pueblo enardecido
Of an impassioned people!¡De un pueblo enardecido!
