Un pueblo es [English translation]

A people can't be earned with a phrase

nor with disguising as a poet,

a people must be earned with respect.

a people is something more than a suitcase

lost in the season of time,

waiting without an owner for the morning.

A people can't be earned with a phrase

nor with a pat on their landscape

nor with learning from their language

nor with a song that coats the hatred

and fill your business, and fill your business.

A people is, a people is, a people is

opening a window in the morning and breath

the smile of the air on every corner

and working and working

joining to life, life..

the brick in the hope

looking forward without turning back.

A people can't be earned with a phrase

nor with disguising as a poet,

a people must be earned face to face,

respecting the greyhairs of their land,

letting the little ones grow with the shelter of the sun

waiting without fear for the morning.
