Bio Bio, Sueño Azul
Illapu
Bio Bio, Blue Dream
The wind that carries the message, the water that gives me strength
The Willi River flows through my land
With the strength of the earth, the sky, the power of the sun.
"No dams! Let my rapids flow!
No dams! Let freedom bloom again.
This is what the spirit of the eternal south wind says,
For they are my people, my friends, the dew of life!
The moon is the bird
That illuminates my words,
Its song a memory
Of the sun over my waters,
Where else but the shine of my fish,
Where the green of my araucarias.
This is my mother earth
Of all my ancestors,
Will the valley where thought blooms
Be left without shade,
The air we sow?
We are a dance of love at dawn.
Bío Bío, blue dream of my ancestors
I am the one who comes to touch
Your heart to see if the struggle grows
Against our enemies.
Let my rapids flow,
Let life bloom freely again,
Spirit of the wind,
Breath of drizzle
That only kisses the bed of my stones,
I will not be a lake of sadness.
