El Canto de Las Lapas

I must be, a slave in my land and I must believe in Him
And pray to another sky that I don't understand
These are my commandments
Not to question God's plan!

Yes, Yahweh, is usury really your plan
And if perhaps ambition is your word
I prefer your hell, cursed be the moment
When your inquisition arrived at my lands!

I will be the spark that ignites the revolution
I will be the one to convince the tribes to fight for their people
The moment is approaching
In the eternal fire, your temples will burn

Do you renounce your false God Sibö? Yes
Do you accept Christ as your true God? Yes
What will your Christian name be? Pablo
In the name of God, you are baptized

I am the chief, I am the conqueror
I give you my God, my religion
You give me your kingdom, your gold, your nation
There is no room for two

How dare you defy God?
Blasphemer, pagan, instigator
Do you not know that betrayal is a sin?
Condemned to execution

But that is not my God, mine is Sibö
Yes, I have been baptized, but in my soul it still remains
Sin to be silent, to accept slavery
Finally, your temples will give light

Rebellion: against their God!
Let the temples burn
Defend their people with honor

For Yahweh, I will fight
In the name of Christ and the king
I will conquer you

Fourteen temples already burned by you
You will feel God's wrath
The time has come to end this mutiny
We are coming for you

Let them come for me, for I will be here
They come to collect from us, but they owe more
For so much uprooting, so much hatred and disdain
If I must die, let it be standing

Rebellion: against their God!
Let the temples burn
Defend their people with honor

For Yahweh, I will fight
In the name of Christ and the king
I will conquer you

You are now at my mercy
Betray your people and confess
That you have sinned, I confess, and that I will see you in your hell
And I will die with honor
Knowing that I fought for good

They will cut off your head and I will place it on high
And so they will see that I won in the end

Oh lord of the parrots
You return to your home
After fighting

Welcome to Sulá Kaska
Place of sacred immortality

To Talamanca, from the Spanish
You managed to liberate
And we must celebrate

Today with one voice
All in your honor
We will celebrate you and toast to your glory
And in freedom, the parrots will sing
For you, our ancestral legacy
Will not die

Also the Sikuas, will acclaim you
For all eternity
And join in the song

Today with one voice
All in your honor
We will celebrate you and toast to your glory
And in freedom, the parrots will sing
For you, our ancestral legacy
Will not die
