Canción Por La Unidad Latinoamericana (part. Chico Buarque)
El nacimiento de un mundo
Se aplazó por un momento
Fue un breve lapso del tiempo
Del universo, un segundo
Sin embargo parecía
Que todo se iba a acabar
Con la distancia mortal
Que separó nuestras vidas
Realizaron la labor
De desunir nossas mãos
E fazer com que os irmãos
Se mirassem com temor
Cuando pasaron los años
Se acumularon rencores
Se olvidaron los amores
Parecíamos extraños
Que distância tão sofrida
Que mundo tão separado
Jamás hubiera encontrado
Sin aportar nuevas vidas
E quem garante que a história
É carroça abandonada
Numa beira de estrada
Ou numa estação inglória
A história é um carro alegre
Cheio de um povo contente
Que atropela indiferente
Todo aquele que a negue
É um trem riscando trilhos
Abrindo novos espaços
Acenando muitos braços
Balançando nossos filhos
Lo que brilla con luz propia
Nadie lo puede apagar
Su brillo puede alcanzar
La oscuridad de otras costas
Quem vai impedir que a chama
Saia iluminando o cenário
Saia incendiando o plenário
Saia inventando outra trama
Quem vai evitar que os ventos
Batam portas mal fechadas
Revirem terras mal socadas
E espalhem nossos lamentos
E enfim que paga o pesar
Do tempo que se gastou
De las vidas que costó
De las que puede costar
Já foi lançada uma estrela
Pra quem souber enxergar
Pra quem quiser alcançar
E andar abraçado nela
Song for Latin American Unity (feat. Chico Buarque)
The birth of a world
Was postponed for a moment
It was a brief lapse of time
In the universe, a second
Yet it seemed
That everything was going to end
With the deadly distance
That separated our lives
They carried out the task
Of breaking our hands apart
And making brothers
Look at each other with fear
As the years went by
Resentments accumulated
Loves were forgotten
We seemed like strangers
What a painful distance
What a world so divided
Would never have found
Without bringing new lives
And who guarantees that history
Is an abandoned cart
On the side of the road
Or in a inglorious station
History is a joyful cart
Full of a happy people
That runs over indifferently
Anyone who denies it
It's a train marking tracks
Opening new spaces
Waving many arms
Swinging our children
What shines with its own light
No one can extinguish
Its brightness can reach
The darkness of other shores
Who will prevent the flame
From illuminating the stage
From setting fire to the assembly
From inventing another plot
Who will prevent the winds
From knocking on poorly closed doors
Turning over poorly tilled lands
And spreading our sorrows
And finally, who pays the price
For the time that was spent
For the lives it cost
For the ones it may cost
A star has already been launched
For those who can see
For those who want to reach
And walk embraced by it
