Son caminos de caminos
They are paths of paths
Donde las piedras son las minas
Where the stones are the mines
Que van rompiendo huesos de la tierra que se queja
That break the bones of the earth that complains
Dejando invalida la esperanza
Leaving hope invalid
La dulce voz de un niño
The sweet voice of a child
Se torna en la tormenta
Turns into the storm
De un llanto incontrolable de dolores viscerales
Of an uncontrollable cry of visceral pains
Que no entiende la inocencia
That innocence cannot understand
Los arboles estan llorando
The trees are crying
Son testigos de tantos años de violencia
They are witnesses of so many years of violence
El mar esta marron
The sea is brown
Mezcla de sangre con la tierra
A mix of blood with the earth
Pero ahi vienen bajando de la montaña con la esperanza
But here they come down from the mountain with hope
Las madres que ven por sus hijos y que sus libros
The mothers who care for their children and whose books
Para la escuela son su soñar
Are their dreams for school
Pero ahi vienen bajando de la montaña con la esperanza
But here they come down from the mountain with hope
Hombres y niños malheridos
Men and wounded children
Buscando asilo, buscando un sitio
Searching for shelter, searching for a place
Para soñar y amar
To dream and to love
No merecemos el olvido
We do not deserve to be forgotten
Somos la voz del pueblo
We are the voice of the people
Dice un señor sentado con sus dos ojos vendados
Says a man sitting with his eyes blindfolded
Pero que aun tiene la esperanza en sus manos
Yet still has hope in his hands
Los arboles estan llorando
The trees are crying
Son testigos de tantos años de violencia
They are witnesses of so many years of violence
El mar esta marron
The sea is brown
Mezcla de sangre con la tierra
A mix of blood with the earth
Pero ahí vienen bajando de la montañña con la esperanza
But here they come down from the mountain with hope
Las madres que ven por sus hijos y que sus libros
The mothers who care for their children and whose books
Para la escuela son su soñar
Are their dreams for school
Pero ahi vienen bajando de la montaña con la esperanza
But here they come down from the mountain with hope
Hombres y niños malheridos
Men and wounded children
Buscando asilo, buscando sitio
Searching for shelter, searching for a place
Para soñar y amar
