La Muralla

To build a wall
Bring me all the hands
Bring me all the hands
The black with their black hands
The white with their white hands
A wall that goes
From the beach to the mountain
From the mountain to the beach
There on the horizon

tun tun! Who is it?
A rose and a carnation...
Open the wall!
tun tun! Who is it?
The colonel's saber
Close the wall!
tun tun! Who is it?
The dove and the laurel
Open the wall!
tun tun! Who is it?
The scorpion and the centipede...
Close the wall!

Open the wall to the friend's heart
Close the wall to poison and dagger
Open the wall to myrtle and mint
Close the wall to the snake's tooth
Open the wall to the nightingale in the flower...

Let's raise a wall
Joining all the hands
The black with their black hands
The white with their white hands
A wall that goes
From the beach to the mountain
From the mountain to the beach
There on the horizon...
