Yo Defiendo Mi Tierra

I defend my land
Day and night.

I defend my land
'Cause it's mine, 'cause it's mine.
I defend it at night,
I defend it in the day.
In the day the wind helps me,
At night the three Marys.

I saw cross the plains,
Crying, crying,
The miner's wife,
Her feet bleeding.
Why does this town cry?
I keep asking.

If I go out to the plains
I'm gonna sing:
We don't want strangers
Coming to take
What the land gives us,
Our peace of mind.

I defend my land
'Cause I want to, 'cause I want to,
To dry the sad tears
Of the town's woman.
I want there to be no shadows
On the miner's face.
