Strength

Oh, my beloved land
I am your prisoner, I steal your riches
I dig into your depths and break and plunder
Metals and stones hidden by the sun
They are made with sweat, I extract them with work
I continue with fatigue
Coal, flowers, and tin, silver, gold, sapphires
Oh, I don't want them, oh, I don't take them
They are drops of blood from sleeping brothers

We are your slaves, barely born
We give what is ours
We are foreigners, we go as pilgrims
Oh, my beloved land, I am your prisoner
Prisoner of others, oh, I don't want them
Give me hope for a new path

Strength, strength, strength, strength
Strength, strength, strength, strength
Strength, strength, strength, strength

Strength, strength, the earth yields
Strength, strength, the earth grants
Water, water, the seed arrives
Water, water, the ear of corn sprouts
Fire, fire, sun don't scorch me
Fire, fire, burn the slag
Air, air, scatter the clouds
Air, air, renew the leaves

Everything I sow, everything that sprouts
Another takes it, the wind collects it
I am left with my hands, my hope alone

Strength, strength, let's go, brothers
Strength, strength, let's march, let's march
Strength, strength, the lights are already visible
Strength, strength, of a new world
Strength, strength
