La muralla [English translation]

To build that wall

Everyone, help me with your hands

Black people, with their black hands

White people, with their white hands.

A wall that shall go

From the beach up to the mountains

From the mountains down to the beach

Right there, over the horizon...

Knock, knock! Who is it?

A rose and a carnation...

Open the gates!

Knock, knock! Who is it?

The colonel's sabre...

Close the gates!

Knock, knock! Who is it?

A dove and a laurel wreath...

Open the gates!

Knock, knock! Who is it?

The scorpion and the centipede...

Close the gates!

To a true friend's heart:

Open the gates!

To poison and the dagger:

Close the gates!

To myrtle and peppermint:

Open the gates!

To the snake's sharp fang:

Close the gates!

To the nightingale on a blossom:

Open the gates!

Let's raise a wall

Joining all our hands together

Black people, with their black hands

White people, with their white hands.

A wall that shall go

From the beach up to the mountains

From the mountains down to the beach

Right there, over the horizon...
