| They come in white boats many years ago
|
| They gave you presents and promised you a lot
|
| But they lock you on a chain
|
| Put you in a mine
|
| And a sad word for the glory of our time
|
| Fly away little Paraguayo
|
| Spread your wings out to the sky
|
| Fly away little Paraguayo
|
| 'Cause the white men’s on the ride
|
| And your body is so hungry
|
| And your mind is filled with fear
|
| Fly away little Paraguayo
|
| 'Cause the soldiers soon be here
|
| They said you’re just an indian
|
| Not better than a beast
|
| Only good for working like a slave
|
| And so you’re sweat and run
|
| 'Til the day is done
|
| While you know you could be better in your grave
|
| Fly away little Paraguayo
|
| Spread your wings out to the sky
|
| Fly away little Paraguayo
|
| 'Cause the white men’s on the ride
|
| And your body is so hungry
|
| And your mind is filled with fear
|
| Fly away little Paraguayo
|
| 'Cause the soldiers soon be here
|
| Fly away little Paraguayo
|
| Spread your wings out to the sky
|
| Fly away little Paraguayo
|
| 'Cause the white men’s on the ride
|
| And your body is so hungry
|
| And your mind is filled with fear
|
| Fly away little Paraguayo
|
| 'Cause the soldiers soon be here |
