Si pintaras
If you were to paint
Mi país color de rosa
My country in shades of pink
Serías un gran pintor para ellos
You would be a great painter for them
Si tus pinceles
If your brushes
Pasarán sobre mi país
Were to glide over my country
Con el color de los sueños
With the color of dreams
De los sueños color de rosa
Of dreams in shades of pink
Si tus pinceles
If your brushes
Pasarán sobre mi país
Were to glide over my country
Tranquilamente
Calmly
Como la brisa de la playa
Like the breeze of the beach
De la arena color de rosa
Of the sand colored pink
Y pintarás
And you will paint
Los árboles y el cielo color de rosa
The trees and the sky colored pink
Y la tierra robada color de rosa
And the stolen land colored pink
Y mi casa y mi corazón color de rosa
And my house and my heart colored pink
Serías un gran pintor para ellos
You would be a great painter for them
Serías un gran pintor para ellos
You would be a great painter for them
Pero no pintes
But don't paint
Con un mismo color de rosas
With the same color of roses
Las llagas de mi pueblo
The wounds of my people
Que tus pinceles
Let your brushes
pasen sobre mi país ásperamente
pass over my country harshly
Como los vientos

Y que pinten los árboles y el cielo
