Si Queremos
Patricio Manns
If We Want
If we want
we can discover the new story,
we can invent the voice of the day,
we can see the light of memory,
we can build with poetry.
If we want
we will write books on the walls,
we will paint a picture on every star,
we will tie a pure song to the sea,
the universal song of our mark.
If we want
we will reach to speak with the past.
If we want
we will transform all this present.
If we want
we will shape our future today.
If we want.
If we want
we will make the universe stumble,
we will bring down burning stars,
we will calm storms with a verse,
we will sow the devastated fields.
