Venas Abiertas

Latin America
Must go hand in hand
On a different path
On a clearer road
We can no longer
Forget our past
We have many wounds
We Latin Americans

We live so many passions
As the years go by
We are hot-blooded
And with postponed dreams
I want us to be together
Because we must take care of each other
Whoever hurts us doesn't know
That we are all brothers

And no one will stay on the sidelines
No one will look aside
Time to live
Time to live
No dying
Let's go after what we desire
No one will stay on the sidelines
Soon it will come
Time to live

Nothing was given to us
We have paid a high price
Whoever makes a mistake and doesn't learn
Will be wrong again
We have open veins
Punished hearts
We are fervently
Latin Americans

And when the days come
That we await
With all the melodies
We will sing as one
The sky will be blue
The winds will have changed
And a new time will be born
Latin American

And no one will stay on the sidelines
No one will look aside
No dying
Let's go after what we desire
Soon it will come
Time to live
Time to live
