Long ago we were
They said
Give it to me, give,
give the head of the bear
give me the land without thorns
Ten runners,
Arauco alive!
Ten winners!
Ten snakes, young giants
North, south
Rain, new moon
Dawn, night
Winds, stars
High mountain
To cross the valley
What was worth
The white oak
Lie, truth
From the Andean mountain range
to the other side
Truth, lie
Blue talisman, Nahuel
I am blue, he said
Those condors
With great need, need
We need the dictionary
Mapudungun-Basque
Mapu=Land, People=Txe
People of the land=Maputxe
