Vamos, Estudiantes
Daniel Viglietti
Let's Go, Students
Let's go, students,
through streets and squares,
let's go, because life
calls us.
Let's go, comrades,
with our heads held high,
those who fight for something
achieve it.
Today they are arms,
tomorrow, what will they be?
what will they be, what will they be?
Today they are stones,
it's something to think about,
to think about, to think about!
Let's walk,
fists clenched
and hearts
raised.
We go like a river
through streets and corners
shouting what Artigas said.
The tyrants
will tremble one day.
They will tremble, they will tremble.
Cold wind
we will bring close to them.
To bring close, to bring close!
We are the new air
of spring,
against our voice
there are no barriers.
Over the dark air
we will overcome,
we are forming
a dawn.
