Pa chelu' gusaanu' naa
To the sky, we are reaching
Xunaxi huiini' ni jmá nadxii
On this night, I can't hold back
Napa ladxidua'
We are all dreaming
Ratiisi chelu' zia'
The sky is shining bright
Ti lii nga guenda, biseenda Diuxi
I will go with you, together we'll shine
Ni gatenia

And I will overcome with every tear
Cadi caquiiñe' dia' chaa guibá
Every step I take, I will find my way
Naa ma bidxela' tu gatenia
Yet my spirit will never fade away

Guidxilayú, I will soar high
Nga sicaru nipa nuu neu naa
And I will overcome with every tear
Naa ma bidxela' tu gatenia
Yet my spirit will never fade away
