I'm what they left behind
I'm all the leftovers of what they stole
A town hidden on the summit
My skin is leather, that's why it withstands any climate
Peasant labor for your consumption
A cold front in the middle of summer
Love in the time of cholera, my brother
The sun that rises and the day that dies
With the best sunsets
I'm development in raw flesh
A political speech without saliva
The prettiest faces that I've known
I'm the photograph of a disappeared person
The blood inside your veins
I'm a piece of land that's worth it
I'm Maradona against England scoring two goals on you
I'm what holds my flag up
The planet's backbone is my mountain range
I'm what my father taught me
He who doesn't love his homeland doesn't love his mother
A people without legs but that walk
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 joy
You can't buy my pain
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 joy
You can't buy my pain
I've got the lakes, I've got the rivers
I've got my teeth for when I smile
The snow that puts makeup on my mountains
I've got the sun that dries me and the rain that bathes me
A desert drunk on peyote from a shot of pulque
To sing with the coyotes, all that I need
I've got my lungs breathing light blue
The altitude that suffocates
I'm the molars in my mouth chewing coca
The autumn with its wilted leaves
The verses written under the starry night
A vineyard full of grapes
A cane field under the sun in Cuba
I'm the Caribbean Sea that watches over the little houses
Performing holy water rituals
The wind that combs my hair
I'm all the saints that hang from my neck
The juice of my struggle isn't artificial
Because the fertilizer of my land is natural
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 joy
You can't buy my pain
You can't buy the wind
(Portuguese)
You can't buy the sun
(Portuguese)
You can't buy the rain
(Portuguese)
You can't buy the heat
(Portuguese)
You can't buy the clouds
(Portuguese)
You can't buy the colors
(Portuguese)
You can't buy my joy
(Portuguese)
You can't buy my pain
(Portuguese)
You can't buy the rain
You can't buy my life
I do rough work but with pride
Here we share, what's mine is yours
This town doesn't drown in swells
And if it collapses I'll rebuild it
I don't even blink when I look at you
So that you remember my last name
Operation Condor invading my nest
I forgive but I never forget
I sing because I'm heard
You can't buy my life
