Cancion Para Mi America

Give your hand to the Indian
Give it, it will do you good
And you will find the way
As I found it yesterday

Give your hand to the Indian
Give it, it will do you good
It will wet you with the holy sweat
Of the struggle and duty

The Indian's skin will teach you
All the path you must walk
Hands of copper will show you
All the blood you must shed

Give your hand to the Indian
Give it, it will do you good
And you will find the way
As I found it yesterday

It's the time of copper
Mestizo shout and rifle
If the doors don't open
The people will have to open them

America is waiting
And the century turns blue
Pampas, rivers, and mountains
Release their own light

The song has no owner
Only bosses to command
The American guitar
Fighting learned to sing

Give your hand to the Indian
Give it, it will do you good...
