La Muralla

To make a wall
Bring me all the hands
Bring me all the hands
The blacks their black hands
The whites their white hands

A wall that goes
From the beach to the mountain
From the mountain to the beach
Over there on the horizon

Knock knock! Who is it?
A rose and a carnation
Open the wall!
Knock knock! Who is it?
The Colonel's Sabre
Close the wall!
Knock knock! Who is it?
The dove and the laurel
Open the wall!
Knock knock! Who is it?
The scorpion and the centipede
Close the wall!

The wall opens to the heart of a friend
The wall closes the poison and the dagger
The wall opens to myrtle and mint
The wall closes to the serpent's tooth
The wall opens to the nightingale in the flower

Let's build a wall
Putting all hands together
The blacks their black hands
The whites their white hands

A wall that goes
From the beach to the mountain
From the mountain to the beach
Over there on the horizon
