Song For My America

Mercedes Sosa

Cancion Para Mi America

Dale tu mano al indio
Dale que te hara bien
Y encontraras el camino
Como ayer yo lo encontre

Dale tu mano al indio
Dale que te hara bien
Te mojara el sudor santo
De la lucha y el deber

La piel del indio te enseñara
Toda la senda que habras de andar
Manos de cobre te mostraran
Toda la sangre que has de dejar

Dale tu mano al indio
Dale que te hara bien
Y encontraras el camino
Como ayer yo lo encontre

Es el tiempo del cobre
Mestizo grito y fusil
Si no se abren las puertas
El pueblo las ha de abrir

America esta esperando
Y el siglo se vuelve azul
Pampas, rios y montañas
Liberan su propia luz

La copla no tiene dueño
Patrones no mas mandar
La guitarra americana
Peleando aprendio a cantar

Dale tu mano al indio
Dale que te hara bien...

Song For My America

Give your hand to the Indian
Give it, it will do you good
And you will find the way
As I found it yesterday

Give your hand to the Indian
Give it, it will do you good
It will wet you with the holy sweat
Of the struggle and duty

The Indian's skin will teach you
All the path you must walk
Hands of copper will show you
All the blood you must shed

Give your hand to the Indian
Give it, it will do you good
And you will find the way
As I found it yesterday

It's the time of copper
Mestizo shout and rifle
If the doors don't open
The people will have to open them

America is waiting
And the century turns blue
Pampas, rivers, and mountains
Release their own light

The song has no owner
Only bosses to command
The American guitar
Fighting learned to sing

Give your hand to the Indian
Give it, it will do you good...
