Latinoamerica - English translation by Calle 13 Lyrics
I am, I am what they left
I'm all what's left from what was stolen
The people hidden in the mountain peaks
My skin is leather that's why it withstands any weather
I am a smoke factory
Peasant labor for your consumption
Cold front in the middle of summer
Love in the time of rage, my brother
The sun that rises and the day that dies with the best sunsets
I am development in vivo
A political speech without saliva
The prettiest faces I've ever met
I am the photograph of a missing person
The blood inside your veins
I am a piece of land is worthy
A basket with beans
I'm Maradona against England scoring two goals
I am what holds my flag
The backbone of the planet is my mountain range
I am what my father taught me
"He who does not love his country does not love his mother"
I am Latin America
A community without legs, but walking
You can't buy the wind
You can't buy the sun
You can't buy the rain
You can't buy the heat
You can't buy the clouds
You can't buy the colors
You can't buy my happiness
You can't buy my pains
You can't buy the wind
You can't buy the sun
You can't buy the rain
You can not buy the heat
You can't buy the clouds
You can't buy the colors
You can't buy my happiness
You can't buy my pains
I have the lakes, I have the rivers
I have my teeth for when I smile
The snow that cover my mountains
I have the sun that dries me and the rain that bathes me
A dessert drunk with peyote, a drink of pulque
To sing with the coyotes, everything I need
I have my lungs breathing light blue
The height that suffocates
I'm the teeth in my mouth chewing coca
The autumn with its fallen leaves
The verses written under starry nights
A vine full of grapes
A cane field under the sun in Cuba
I am the Caribbean Sea vigilant of the little houses
Doing holy water rituals
The wind that combs my hair
I'm all the saints that hang of my neck
The juice of my fight is not artificial
Because the fertilizer of my land is natural
You can't buy the wind
You can't buy the sun
You can not buy the rain
You can not buy the heat
You can't buy the clouds
You can't buy the colors
You can't buy my happiness
You can't buy my pains
[portuguese]
Não se pode comprar o vento
Não se pode comprar o sol
Não se pode comprar a chuva
Não se pode comprar o calor
Não se pode comprar as nuvens
Não se pode comprar as cores
Não se pode comprar minha alegria
Não se pode comprar minhas dores
You can't buy the wind
You can't buy the sun
(We're walking)
(No riso e no amor)
(We're walking)
(Nos pranto e na dor)
(Sketching the path on our way)
No puedes comprar mi vida
This land is not for sale
Rough work, but with pride
Here we share, what is mine is yours
This people don't drown with strong tides
And if it collapses, I will rebuild it
Also I don't blink when I look at you
To remind you of my last name
Operation Condor invading my nest
I forgive but I never forget!
Here you breathe fight
I sing because I'm heard
Here we stand
Long live Latin America!
You can't buy my life
I'm all what's left from what was stolen
The people hidden in the mountain peaks
My skin is leather that's why it withstands any weather
I am a smoke factory
Peasant labor for your consumption
Cold front in the middle of summer
Love in the time of rage, my brother
The sun that rises and the day that dies with the best sunsets
