Good Flower

Flor La Buena

It's the good flowerEs flor la buena
Feeling the cold of a cloud running through its gray veinSiente el frío de una nube correr entre su vena gris
Gray that doesn't soundGris que no suena
And even though the cold condemns her and she feels no remorseY aunque el frío la condena y no siente pena
She, with her back straight and sereneElla, de espalda erguida y serena
Doesn't stay in bedNo se queda en cama
Wakes up every morningDespierta todas las mañanas
And cultivates in her landY cultiva en su tierra
Potatoes and applesPapas y manzanas
The same ones you see on your dinner plateLas mismas que ves en tu cena

It's the good flowerEs flor la buena
The one that turned this song into reggaeLa que volvió reggae este tema
It's the good flowerEs flor la buena

They want to move herQuieren moverla
In an illegal way to extract a mineralDe manera ilegal pa' extraer un mineral
That brings problemsQue trae problemas
Several dead every day, the same condemnationVarios muertos to' los días misma condena
But shePero ella
With white and red in her veinsBlanco y rojo a la vena
Doesn't sit stillNo queda sentada
Ready to give her whole lifeDispuesta a dar la vida entera
Defending her landDefendiendo su tierra
Her Peruvian landSu tierra peruana
Dare to see if you can stop herAtrévete a ver si la frenas
