Untamable Men
Untamable men of vast culture,
that made their temple from the jungle,
their law was ecology, of a life in harmony with the passing of time.
Then men arrived, crossing the seas,
with crucifixes, swords, and bibles too.
They destroyed towns, ***, killed in the name of a god divine and cruel.
Then, grandfathers, untamable men, dignified porters of Avare Ñandu,
raised their voices, their weapons, their sciences,
the clear rules of God Ñamandu.
America broke its silence, with cries of Hatue, and Nicaroguan
arose the rebels--the great Guaycaipuro, Tupac Amaru, and Caupolicán.
Y Marichiweu, the voice of Lautaro and Tupac Katari, the immortal chief,
covered the history of these high lands with their ideology of justice and peace.
And in the lands of Carios, arose Potyrä and the jungle shook with Guyra Vera,
Ñesu, Mangoré, Ka'arupe in the courageous fight to liberate our continent.
Untamable men, sons of the jungle, identity's triumph in the image of
this red earth whose voice awakens after five centuries of tenacious oppression.
