Credo [English translation]

I firmly believe Lord

That from your generous mind,

All this world was born,

That from your artist hand,

Of primitivist painter

Beauty bloomed,

The stars and the moon

The homes and the lagoons,

The boats sailing

Over the river, to the sea,

The huge coffee plantations

The white cotton fields

And the forests mutilated

By the criminal axe.

I believe in you, architect, engineer

Craftmaker, carpenter, builder and shipowner.

I believee in you, builder of the thought,

Of the music and the wind, of the peace and the love.

I believe in you partner,

Human Christ, Worker Christ,

conqueror of death,

With the great sacrifice,

you procreated the new man,

For the liberation,

You're resurrecting,

in each arm rising,

To defend the people

against the exploiting rule,

Because you're alive in the ranch,

in the factory in the school

I believe in your truceless fight

I believe in your resurrection.
