Latina America

I am what they left behind.
I am all that remains of what they stole.
A town hidden on the mountaintop.
My skin is leather, so it can withstand any weather.

I am a smoke factory.
Peasant labor for your consumption.
A cold front in the middle of summer.
Love in the time of cholera, my brother.

I am the sun that rises and the day that dies
With the best sunsets
I am development in the flesh
A political speech without saliva

The most beautiful faces I have ever known
I am the photograph of a missing person
The blood inside your veins
I am a piece of land that is worth it

A basket of beans
I am Maradona against England, scoring two goals against you
I am what holds up my flag
The backbone of the planet is my mountain range

I am what my father taught me
He who does not love his country does not love his mother
I am Latin America
A people without legs, but who walk, hey!

You cannot buy the wind
You cannot buy the sun
You cannot buy the rain
You cannot 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 sorrows

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 sorrows

I have the lakes, I have the rivers
I have my teeth for when I smile
The snow that covers my mountains
I have the sun that dries me and the rain that bathes me

A desert intoxicated with peyote
A drink of pulque to sing with the coyotes
Everything I need
I have my lungs breathing clear blue air

The height that suffocates
I am the molars in my mouth, chewing coca
Autumn with its fallen leaves
Verses written under the starry night

A vineyard full of grapes
A cane field under the sun in Cuba
I am the Caribbean Sea watching over the little houses
Performing rituals with holy water

The wind that combs my hair
I am all the saints hanging from my neck
The juice of my struggle is not artificial
Because the fertilizer of my land is natural

You cannot buy the wind
You cannot buy the sun
You cannot buy the rain
You cannot buy the heat

You cannot buy the clouds
You cannot buy the colors
You cannot buy my joy
You cannot buy my sorrows

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 sun
You can't buy the rain
(Let's walk) in laughter and love
(Let's walk) in tears and pain

(Let's draw the path) the sun
You can't buy my life
(Let's walk) the earth
It's not for sale

Hard work, but with pride
Here we share, what's mine is yours
This town doesn't drown in chaos
And if it collapses, I'll rebuild it

I don't even blink when I look at you
So you remember my last name
Operation Condor invading my nest
I forgive, but I never forget, hey!

(Let's walk)
Here you breathe struggle
(Let's walk)
I sing because you can hear me
(Let's draw the path) voices of one heart
(Let's walk) here we stand

Long live America!

You can't buy my life

Soy, soy lo que dejaron
Soy toda la sobra de lo que se robaron
Un pueblo escondido en la cima
Mi piel es de cuero, por eso aguanta cualquier clima

Soy una fábrica de humo
Mano de obra campesina para tu consumo
Frente de frío en el medio del verano
El amor en los tiempos del cólera, mi hermano

Soy el Sol que nace y el día que muere
Con los mejores atardeceres
Soy el desarrollo en carne viva
Un discurso político sin saliva

Las caras más bonitas que he conocido
Soy la fotografía de un desaparecido
La sangre dentro de tus venas
Soy un pedazo de tierra que vale la pena

Una canasta con frijoles
Soy Maradona contra Inglaterra, anotándote dos goles
Soy lo que sostiene mi bandera
La espina dorsal del planeta es mi cordillera

Soy lo que me enseñó mi padre
El que no quiere a su patría, no quiere a su madre
Soy América Latina
Un pueblo sin piernas, pero que camina, ¡oye!

Tú no puedes comprar el viento
Tú no puedes comprar el Sol
Tú no puedes comprar la lluvia
Tú no puedes comprar el calor

Tú no puedes comprar las nubes
Tú no puedes comprar los colores
Tú no puedes comprar mi alegría
Tú no puedes comprar mis dolores

Tú no puedes comprar el viento
Tú no puedes comprar el Sol
Tú no puedes comprar la lluvia
Tú no puedes comprar el calor

Tú no puedes comprar las nubes
Tú no puedes comprar los colores
Tú no puedes comprar mi alegría
Tú no puedes comprar mis dolores

Tengo los lagos, tengo los ríos
Tengo mis dientes pa' cuando me sonrío
La nieve que maquilla mis montañas
Tengo el Sol que me seca y la lluvia que me baña

Un desierto embriagado con peyote
Un trago de pulque para cantar con los coyotes
Todo lo que necesito
Tengo a mis pulmones respirando azul clarito

La altura que sofoca
Soy las muelas de mi boca, mascando coca
El otoño con sus hojas desmayadas
Los versos escritos bajo la noche estrellada

Una viña repleta de uvas
Un cañaveral bajo el Sol en Cuba
Soy el mar Caribe que vigila las casitas
Haciendo rituales de agua bendita

El viento que peina mis cabellos
Soy todos los santos que cuelgan de mi cuello
El jugo de mi lucha no es artificial
Porque el abono de mi tierra es natural

Tú no puedes comprar el viento
Tú no puedes comprar el Sol
Tú no puedes comprar la lluvia
Tú no puedes comprar el calor

Tú no puedes comprar las nubes
Tú no puedes comprar los colores
Tú no puedes comprar mi alegría
Tú no puedes comprar mis dolores

Não se pode comprar o vento
Não se pode comprar o Sol
Não se pode comprar a chuva
Não se pode comprar o calor

Não se pode comprar as nuvens
Não se pode comprar as cores
Não se pode comprar minha alegria
Não se pode comprar minhas dores

No puedes comprar el Sol
No puedes comprar la lluvia
(Vamos caminando) no riso e no amor
(Vamos caminando) no pranto e na dor

(Vamos dibujando el camino) el Sol
No puedes comprar mi vida
(Vamos caminando) la tierra
No se vende

Trabajo bruto, pero con orgullo
Aquí se comparte, lo mío es tuyo
Este pueblo no se ahoga con marullo
Y si se derrumba, yo lo reconstruyo

Tampoco pestañeo cuando te miro
Para que te recuerdes de mi apellido
La Operación Cóndor invadiendo mi nido
Perdono, pero nunca olvido, ¡oye!

(Vamos caminando)
Aquí se respira lucha
(Vamos caminando)
Yo canto porque se escucha
(Vamos dibujando el camino) vozes de um só coração
(Vamos caminando) aquí estamos de pie

¡Que viva la América!

No puedes comprar mi vida
