That's why the heavens cry
_____
That's why the heavens cry
I speak to you from my land
_____
Majestic Andes, imposing blue of the sky
_____
They shelter us in the America that is forgotten
In the name of my grandparents
_____
That didn't have many opportunities
_____
They rose up in the middle of the war
And they protected my parents
_____
That have suffered for twenty years
_____
Hundreds of Taratas, thousands of deaths and missing people
Let's search for the dawn
Let's search for the dawn
_____
Helplessness, oblivion, pain and rage ran through my veins
_____
It's time to make heard
What they want to silence
_____
The silence of those that can't defend themselves
_____
They left from among those that have no privileges
_____
The silence of those that condemn
_____
Without evidence and they trample their rights
_____
That voice of the mother of the Andes that asks
For justice and never gives up
_____
Why do you boast about a democracy
_____
That excludes, represses and discriminates
_____
It only shows up when the vote is cast
_____
You complain, they silence you, they leave and turn them into devotees
_____
That democracy is the corruption
_____
You must never normalize!
_____
You must always question!
_____
We exist in this world
Let's search for the dawn
Let's search for the dawn
_____
Don't keep attacking the sons of the Andes
_____
Land of Quechuas and great Wisdom
_____
And Aymaras of burnished bronze
Coast, highlands, jungle!
_____
Our diversity is our wealth!
_____
Yes! The time will come when we'll get out of this!
Let's search for the dawn
_____
We exist in this world
Let's search for the dawn
_____
That's why the heavens cry
