Prayer to a Laborer
Get up and look at the mountain
where the wind, the sun, and the water come from,
you who control the course of the rivers
you who planted the flight of your soul.
Get up and look at your hands
to grow, shake hands with your brother,
together we will go united in blood
today is the time that could be tomorrow.
Deliver us from those who dominate us in misery
bring us your kingdom of justice and equality.
Blow like the wind the flower of the ravine
clean like the fire the barrel of your rifle,
let your freedom finally be here on earth
give us your strength and courage in combat,
Blow like the wind the flower of the ravine
clean like the fire the barrel of your rifle.
Get up and look at your hands
to grow, shake hands with your brother,
together we will go united in blood
now and at the hour of our death amen
a - a - men, a - a - men.
