Translation of the song lyrics Van A Rodar Cabezas - Mägo De Oz

Van A Rodar Cabezas (original)

Si he de morir, será luchando
Por ver crecer a mi pueblo aquí
Y perderé en un suspiro
Lo que en una vida tardé en construir
Si he de vivir, no será mendigando
Por mi cultura y por lo que creí
Si he de caer, será al menos luchando
Porque no secuestren mi libertad
Si he de callar, lo haré dejando
Que hable por mi, el viento de aquí
No quiero ver a mi pueblo adorando
A un Dios que no puede al sol oír
Si he de gritar mi odio irá levantando
Tal tempestad que ira os helará
Si he de matar no será asesinando
El hombre blanco lo hace
No por sobrevivir
Sé que llegará el día
En que llueva libertad
Y que escrito en la luna
Con la tinta de un clavel
Se lea «vive en paz»
No dejes que la melancolía
De tu memoria sea el retrovisor
No dejes que una frontera consiga
Determinar el país de una flor
Beso el suelo y de rodillas
Me despido de la mar
En otra vida volveré
Hoy van a rodar cabezas
Hoy van a rodar

Van A Rodar Cabezas (translation)

If I have to die, it will be fighting
For seeing my town grow here
And I'll lose in a heartbeat
What it took in a lifetime to build
If I am to live, it will not be by begging
For my culture and for what I believed
If I have to fall, it will be at least fighting
Why don't they kidnap my freedom
If I have to keep quiet, I will do it leaving
Let the wind from here speak for me
I don't want to see my people worshiping
To a God who can't hear the sun
If I have to shout, my hatred will rise
Such a storm that wrath will chill you
If I have to kill, it won't be murdering
The white man does
not to survive
I know the day will come
in which it rains freedom
And what is written on the moon
With the ink of a carnation
It reads "live in peace"
Don't let the melancholy
From your memory be the rearview mirror
Don't let a border get
Determine the country of a flower
I kiss the ground and on my knees
I say goodbye to the sea
In another life I will return
Heads are going to roll today
Today they are going to roll
