I call on you
I clasp your hands
I kiss the ground under your feet
And I say: I offer my life for yours
I call on you
I clasp your hands
I kiss the ground under your feet
And I say: I offer my life for yours
I give you the light of my eyes as a present
and the warmth of my heart
I give you the light of my eyes as a present
and the warmth of my heart
The tragedy I live
is but my share of your tragedies

I was not humiliated in my homeland
Nor was I diminished
I was not humiliated in my homeland
Nor was I diminished
I stood up to my oppressors
orphaned, nude, and barefoot

I carried my blood in my palm
I never lowered my flags
I carried my blood in my palm
I never lowered my flags
I guarded the green grass
over my ancestor’s graves
I carried my blood in my palm
I never lowered my flags
I guarded the green grass
over my ancestor’s graves
