Prefiero America
Prefiero sentir,
Los brazos labrar la tierra de marti,
Para rescindir el pacto colonial
Prefiero sentir,
A pablo trazar lso rios del jardin,
Poeta llorando por su tierra disfuncional
Yo prefiero verme a mi luchando por vivir,
En una america unida en libertad.
Donde sea viable darle al quijote su oportuno
Funeral,
Y el rey sol se de revancha en su greda.
En memoria de los hombres,
Que hoy van a despertar.
Prefiero sentir,
A marcos gritar por su emancipacion,
Y ver resurgir a un rio grande inmenso.
Yo prefiero verme a mi bregando por vivir,
En una tierra que desnude su crueldad,
Donde sea viable darle al colono su oportuno
Funeral,
Con simon desdibujando las fronteras.
Hoy pretende resurgir,
(lo que desde siempre estuvo en mi)
Es la historia derrumbada,
De calzar en mis pies,
Sus pisadas y cargar mi voz,
Con el canto de la rebelion!
Prefiero sentir, prefiero creer,
Sortear la ignominia de los tiempos,
Libres de una vez!
Para repetir, para reafirmar ,
Que el presente es urgente ya!
I Prefer America
I prefer to feel,
The arms to till the land of Marti,
To rescind the colonial pact
I prefer to feel,
Pablo tracing the rivers of the garden,
Poet crying for his dysfunctional land
I prefer to see myself fighting to live,
In a united America in freedom.
Where it is viable to give Don Quixote his timely
Funeral,
And the sun king takes revenge in his clay.
In memory of the men,
Who will wake up today.
I prefer to feel,
Marcos shouting for his emancipation,
And see a great immense Rio Grande resurge.
I prefer to see myself struggling to live,
In a land that exposes its cruelty,
Where it is viable to give the colonizer his timely
Funeral,
With Simon blurring the borders.
Today it seeks to resurge,
(what has always been in me)
It is the collapsed history,
To walk in my footsteps,
And carry my voice,
With the song of rebellion!
I prefer to feel, I prefer to believe,
To overcome the ignominy of the times,
Free once and for all!
To repeat, to reaffirm,
That the present is urgent now!
