Los 33 Orientales

From all over they comeDe todas partes vienen
Blood and courageSangre y coraje
To save their landPara salvar su suelo
The OrientalsLos orientales
They come from the hillsVienen de las colinas
With spear and saberCon lanza y sable
Among the grass they sproutEntre las hierbas brotan
The OrientalsLos orientales
They come out of the villagesSalen de los poblados
They come out of the mountainsDel monte salen
On every corner they waitEn cada esquina esperan
The OrientalsLos orientales

Because they left their livesPorque dejaron sus vidas
Their friends and their belongingsSus amigos y sus bienes
Because they hold dearerPorque les es más querida
The freedom they don't haveLa libertad que no tienen
Because the land is foreignPorque es ajena la tierra
And the freedom is foreignY la libertad ajena
And because the peoples alwaysY porque siempre los pueblos
Know how to break the chainsSaben romper las cadenas

They were ten, they were twentyEran diez, eran veinte
They were fiftyEran cincuenta
They were a thousand, they were thousandsEran mil, eran miles
They are no longer countedYa no se cuentan

Like a wind that sweepsComo un viento que arrasa
They sweep awayVan arrasando
Like water that cleansesComo un agua que limpia
They come cleaningVienen limpiando

Their friends and their belongingsSus amigos y sus bienes
Because they hold dearerPorque les es más querida
The freedom they don't haveLa libertad que no tienen
