Venim del nord, venim del sud
Venim del nord,
venim del sud,
de terra endins,
de mar enllà,
i no creiem en les fronteres
si darrera hi ha un company
amb les seves mans esteses
a un pervindre alliberat.
I caminem per poder ser
i volem ser per caminar.
Venim del nord,
venim del sud,
de terra endins,
de mar enllà,
i no ens mena cap bandera
que no es digui llibertat,
la llibertat de vida plena
que és llibertat dels meus companys.
I volem ser per caminar
i caminar per poder ser.
Venim del nord,
venim del sud,
de terra endins,
de mar enllà,
i no sabem himnes triomfals
ni marcar el pas del vencedor,
que si la lluita és sagnant
serà amb vergonya de la sang.
I caminem per poder ser
i volem ser per caminar.
Venim del nord,
venim del sud,
de terra endins,
de mar enllà,
seran inútils les cadenes
d'un poder sempre esclavitzant,
quan és la vida mateixa
que ens obliga a cada pas.
I caminem per poder ser
i volem ser per caminar.
We come from the north, we come from the south
We come from the north,
we come from the south,
inland,
overseas,
and we don't believe in borders
if there's a companion behind
with their hands outstretched
towards a liberated future.
And we walk to be able to be
and we want to be in order to walk.
We come from the north,
we come from the south,
inland,
overseas,
and no flag leads us
if it doesn't mean freedom,
the freedom of a full life
which is the freedom of my companions.
And we want to be in order to walk
and walk to be able to be.
We come from the north,
we come from the south,
inland,
overseas,
and we don't know triumphal anthems
or how to mark the steps of the victor,
because if the struggle is bloody
it will be with shame for the blood.
And we walk to be able to be
and we want to be in order to walk.
We come from the north,
we come from the south,
inland,
overseas,
the chains will be useless
of a power always enslaving,
when life itself
compels us with each step.
And we walk to be able to be
and we want to be in order to walk.
