La Colombia
Rupatrupa
The Colombia
In the land of coffee, today a free town germinates
Dreamer and liver
Defender of their ideas
They will fight for everything that is love
Colombia lives
Now injected in me
I lived in the warmth of the Moon
Lit in eastern lands
I saw myself lost in its light
As strong as its people
And it has taken root in my heartbeat
Its American essence
The one of love just because
The one of dying for who you love
Colombia gave me its peace
Hidden in the trenches
It painted me with the colors that its flag defends
It taught me that there is no greater luck than living
Colombia lives
(Colombia free)
(Colombia free)
I am part of those who fight (Colombia free)
To continue giving birth to freedom and justice
Of those who keep hope for a better living (Colombia free)
Of those women who use maternal love
To care for their territory as a space of life (Colombia free)
Of those who raise their voice
To stop the destruction of the rivers
Of the forests
And the moors (Colombia free)
Of those who dream
That, one day, human beings
Will change the economic model of death (Colombia free)
To make way
To build an economic model that guarantees life
(Colombia free)
Of wars and guerrillas
Of children in gangs
And governments of hitmen
(Colombia free)
Of dates on calendars
Marked with young blood
That should never have died
(Colombia free)
Of tormented mothers
Carrying sacred flowers
To the graves of their children
(Colombia free)
If I can choose, I choose
To see Colombia free
From fools who do not understand love
