Canción Para Mi América
Daniel Viglietti
Song For My America
Give your hand to the Indian
Give it it will do you good
And you will find the way
Like yesterday I found it
Give your hand to the Indian
Give it it will do you good
Holy sweat will wet you
Of struggle and duty
The skin of the Indian will teach you
All the paths you will have to walk
Copper hands will show you (1)
All the blood you have to leave
Give your hand to the Indian
Give it it will do you good
And you will find the way
Like yesterday I found it
It's copper time
Mestizo, scream and rifle
If the doors do not open (2)
The people have to open them
America is waiting (3)
And the century turns blue
Pampas, rivers and mountains
They release their own light
The couplet has no owner (4)
Patterns no more sending
The American guitar
Fighting he learned to sing - (encore)
Obs: "live" album (Uruguay - 1978), which was recorded in several different locations in concerts in Argentina,
Daniel Viglietti, sings this song together with the Parra duo (Isabel and Angel Parra), there are slight modifications in the lyrics that are related, note:
(1):ou "must show you"
(2):ou "if those doors do not open"
(3):ou "america is screaming"
(4):ou "the song does not want an owner"
Cuáhutemoc.
