Plegaria A Un Labrador
Victor Jara
Prayer to a Laborer
Rise up and look at the mountain
From where the wind, the sun, and the water come
You who steer the course of the rivers
You who planted the flight of your soul
Rise up and look at your hands
To grow, reach out to your brother
Together we'll stand united in blood
Today is the time that can be tomorrow
Deliver us from those who keep us in misery
Bring us your kingdom of justice and equality
Blow like the wind, the flower of the ravine
Clean like the fire, the barrel of my gun
Let your will finally be done here on earth
Give us your strength and your courage in the fight
Blow like the wind, the flower of the ravine
Clean like the fire, the barrel of my gun
Rise up and look at your hands
To grow, reach out to your brother
Together we'll stand united in blood
Now in the hour of our death
Amen, amen, amen
