De La Tierrita Crece - Lyrics

Verse 1

You are the ignited flame on a cold night

That guides and leads us to freedom

The calmness and the breeze that reminds us

That everything in life can change

Laughter without hurry is contagious

Anger is appeased

The resentment is forgotten

It fills you with love

Evil can't take it all away from us

What’s up my friend, let’s go forward

With a lot of perseverance overcoming pain

That "life" is just an instant

Don't waste time hating everything

Well, the trail becomes gigantic

When you look at her with distaste

If we carry deep inside in the blood

With persuasion like the farmers!

Chorus 1

From our land it grows

All the love that blooms today

Resentment disappears

In the vigour of a new dawn

From our land it grows

All the love that blooms today

Resentment disappears

In the vigour of a new dawn

Verse 2

Today! The united people march, vote and fight

To see the change that Gaitán wanted

Young people with shields and hoodies

Because there is a lot of state repression

Corruption has been the virus that fatally overwhelms the "nation"

Causing poverty, discrimination unemployment and inequality

But despite all the bad

There is no shortage of hands that want to plow

They say we were not born for seed

But rather to cultivate

It is hope, faith and temperance

Of a people that without arms wants to advance

Confident that the slaughter

Of the farmers no longer continues

Chorus 2

From our land it grows

All the love that blooms today

Resentment disappears

In the vigour of a new dawn

From our land it grows

All the love that blooms today

Resentment disappears

In the vigour of a new dawn

From the little earth it grows

All the love that blooms today

From our land it grows

All the love that blooms today

Outro

And that it may grow!

The wish to see change

Of a people tired of so much war, hate and resentment

And that it may grow!

The feelings of love and peace

In the hearts of the people

In one love
