Adagio En Mí Pais

In my country, how sad,
Poverty and resentment.
My father says that another time will come
From the depths of time
And he tells me that the sun will shine
Over a town he dreams of
Cultivating its green solar.
In my country, how sad,
Poverty and resentment.

You didn't ask for war,
Mother Earth, I know.
My father says one traitor alone
Can defeat a thousand brave ones;
He feels that the people, in their immense pain,
Today refuse to drink from the clear fountain
Of honor.
You didn't ask for war,
Mother Earth, I know.

In my country we are tough:
The future will tell.
My people sing a song of peace.
Behind every door
My people are alert;
And no one will be able
To silence their song
And tomorrow they will sing again.
In my country we are tough:
The future will tell.

In my country, how lukewarm,
When dawn begins.
My people say they can read
In the worker's hand their destiny
And that there is no fortune teller or king
Who can mark the path
They will walk.
In my country, how lukewarm,
When dawn begins.

Chorus:

In my country we are thousands and thousands
Of tears and rifles,
A fist and a vibrant song,
A burning flame, a giant
Who shouts: forward... forward!
