Peer deep down inside us: we are the Emerald
Eternal and leafy, and resembling a sea
Where perfumes roam throughout the warm night
Where the flood of the great angels of the air flows
We are the forest, enormous ans whispering
Full of overwhelming shade and sombre splendor
Breathing and living, where a thousand golden birds sing
And whose crown bursts into a foam of flowers
Ever since the first breath and the first dawn,
With tireless effort and neverending desire,
Together, we rise from the lairs of the earth
Towards this beautiful goal which you alone has reached
Together, us, its voice, us, its deep soul
In this immense foliage, forever grown green again,
We have sheltered all the dreams of the world,
And it's under the sun that we have grown
