Текст песни Rolando Alarcon - 19.Yo Defiendo Mi Tierra

"Yo deifendo mi tierra"

"I protect my land"

I defend my land -
she is mine, my dear.
I keep it in the middle of the night
I keep it in the middle of the day.
In the afternoon, my assistant is the wind,
at midnight - three Mary
at midnight - three Mary.

Goes through a sultry pump
in tears and groans
miner's wife barefoot
with legs bled into blood.
What are these people crying about?
Let everyone know.
Let everyone know.

I'm leaving the pump
to say:
we don't want foreigners
who came to pick up,
what the earth gives us,
steal our world
steal our world.

I defend my land
for I thirst with all my might,
so that a woman from the people
dried up my tears,
so that the dusk of the miner's face
smile mischievous
smile mischievous.
