Lyrics of A Desalambrar - Victor Jara

A Desalambrar (original)

Yo pregunto a los presentes
Si no se han puesto a pensar
Que la tierra es de nosotros
Y no del que tiene mas.
Yo pregunto si en la tierra
Nunca habria pensado usted
Que si las manos son nuestras
Es nuestro lo que nos den.
A desalambrar a desalambrar
Que la tierra es mia tuya y de aquel
De pedro maria de juan y jose.
Si molesto con mi canto
A alguno que ande por ahi
Le aseguro que es un gringo
O dueño del uruguay.
A desalambrar a desalambrar
Que la tierra es mia tuya y de aquel
De pedro maria de juan y jose.

(translation)

I ask those present
If they haven't thought
That the earth belongs to us
And not the one who has more.
I ask if on earth
you never would have thought
What if the hands are ours
It is ours what they give us.
to unwire to unwire
That the land is mine, yours and that
From Pedro Maria to Juan and Jose.
If I bother with my singing
To someone who walks around
I assure you that he is a gringo
Or owner of Uruguay.
to unwire to unwire
That the land is mine, yours and that
From Pedro Maria to Juan and Jose.
