Song For My America

Cancion Para Mi America

Give your hand to the IndianDale tu mano al indio
Give it, it will do you goodDale que te hara bien
And you will find the wayY encontraras el camino
As I found it yesterdayComo ayer yo lo encontre

Give your hand to the IndianDale tu mano al indio
Give it, it will do you goodDale que te hara bien
It will wet you with the holy sweatTe mojara el sudor santo
Of the struggle and dutyDe la lucha y el deber

The Indian's skin will teach youLa piel del indio te enseñara
All the path you must walkToda la senda que habras de andar
Hands of copper will show youManos de cobre te mostraran
All the blood you must shedToda la sangre que has de dejar

Give your hand to the IndianDale tu mano al indio
Give it, it will do you goodDale que te hara bien
And you will find the wayY encontraras el camino
As I found it yesterdayComo ayer yo lo encontre

It's the time of copperEs el tiempo del cobre
Mestizo shout and rifleMestizo grito y fusil
If the doors don't openSi no se abren las puertas
The people will have to open themEl pueblo las ha de abrir

America is waitingAmerica esta esperando
And the century turns blueY el siglo se vuelve azul
Pampas, rivers, and mountainsPampas, rios y montañas
Release their own lightLiberan su propia luz

The song has no ownerLa copla no tiene dueño
Only bosses to commandPatrones no mas mandar
The American guitarLa guitarra americana
Fighting learned to singPeleando aprendio a cantar

Give your hand to the IndianDale tu mano al indio
Give it, it will do you good...Dale que te hara bien...
