Por qué cantamos [English translation]

If every hour came with its death

If time was a thief cave

The airs were no longer good

And life was only a moving aim

You will wonder, why do we sing

If our people was left without a hug

The homeland dead of sadness

And the heart of the man shattered

before the shame exploded

You will wonder, why do we sing

We sing because the river is sounding

and when it does, it does

We sing because the cruel has no name

but there's a name for his fate

We sing because the child and everyone

and some future and the people

We sing because the survivors

and our deads want us to sing

If we went distant like an horizon

If only trees and sky remained here

If every night was always an absence

and every awakening a disagreement

You will wonder, why do we sing

We sing because is raining on the furrow

and we're militants of life

And because we don't want and we can't

let the song turn into ashes

We sing because the scream isn't enough

and neither the crying nor the anger

We sing because we believe in the people

and because we'll defeat the defeat

We sing because the sun recognizes us

and because the field smells like spring

and because in this stem, in that fruit

every question has its answer
