Lyrics of Canción para America - Soledad Bravo

Canción para America (original)

Paroles de la chanson Canción Para Mi América:
Dale tu mano al indio
Dale que te hara bien
Y encontraras el camino
Como ayer yo lo encontre
Dale tu mano al indio
Dale que te hara bien
Te mojara el sudor santo
De la lucha y el deber
La piel del indio te enseñara
Toda la senda que habras de andar
Manos de cobre te mostraran
Toda la sangre que has de dejar
Dale tu mano al indio
Dale que te hara bien
Y encontraras el camino
Como ayer yo lo encontre
Es el tiempo del cobre
Mestizo grito y fusil
Si no se abren las puertas
El pueblo las ha de abrir
America esta esperando
Y el siglo se vuelve azul
Pampas, rios y montañas
Liberan su propia luz
La copla no tiene dueño
Patrones no mas mandar
La guitarra americana
Peleando aprendio a cantar
Dale tu mano al indio
Dale que te hara bien…

(translation)

Paroles de la chanson Song For My America:
Give your hand to the Indian
give it will do you good
And you will find the way
Like yesterday I found it
Give your hand to the Indian
give it will do you good
The holy sweat will wet you
Of the fight and the duty
The skin of the Indian will teach you
All the path that you will have to walk
Copper hands will show you
All the blood you have to leave
Give your hand to the Indian
give it will do you good
And you will find the way
Like yesterday I found it
It is the time of copper
Mestizo scream and rifle
If the doors don't open
The people have to open them
America is waiting
And the century turns blue
Pampas, rivers and mountains
They release their own light
The couplet has no owner
Patterns no more sending
the american guitar
Fighting learned to sing
Give your hand to the Indian
Let it do you good...
