The Fate of My People

Los Kjarkas

El Destino de Mi Pueblo

Tuvo en sus dias un yugo español
Que la condenó por siempre a sufrir
Porqué, porqué quizo el destino
Poner en su camino toda forma de opresión
Porqué, porqué quizo el destino
Poner en su camino toda forma de opresión

Si en quince años de una lucha cruel
La independencia se vió florecer
Porqué se te ensañó la vida
Quedaste sin salida, sin mar ni puerto después
Porqué se te ensañó la vida
Quedaste sin salida, sin mar ni puerto después

De sus hermanas la victima fué
En mil batallas desangró su piel
Si hoy vives en tus montañas
Te juro que mañana, mi grito romperá el mar
Si hoy vives en tus montañas
Te juro que mañana, mi grito romperá el mar

Cien mil voces
Cien mil rostros enjuntos sedientos de esperanza
Mas, un pueblo cautivo
Prisionero de sus montañas, su destino
Porqué se ensañó la vida
Para quedar luego sin salida
Sin mar ni puerto después
Mas... Mas la fe no esta perdida
Si entregamos la vida
En la lucha por su honor

Mas hoy la fe no está perdida
Si entregamos la vida en la lucha por su honor
Mas hoy la fe no está perdida
Si entregamos la vida en la lucha por su honor

The Fate of My People

In its days, it had a Spanish yoke
That condemned it to suffer forever
Why, why did fate want
To put every form of oppression in its path?
Why, why did fate want
To put every form of oppression in its path?

If in fifteen years of a cruel struggle
Independence was seen to flourish
Why did life turn against you?
You were left with no way out, no sea or port afterwards
Why did life turn against you?
You were left with no way out, no sea or port afterwards

It was the victim of its sisters
In a thousand battles, it bled its skin
If today you live in your mountains
I swear that tomorrow, my shout will break the sea
If today you live in your mountains
I swear that tomorrow, my shout will break the sea

One hundred thousand voices
One hundred thousand faces together, thirsty for hope
Yet, a captive people
Imprisoned by its mountains, its fate
Why did life turn against you
To then be left with no way out
No sea or port afterwards
Yet... Yet faith is not lost
If we give our lives
In the fight for its honor

Yet today faith is not lost
If we give our lives in the fight for its honor
Yet today faith is not lost
If we give our lives in the fight for its honor
