If I must die, it will be fighting
To see my people grow up here
And I'll lose in a sigh
What took me a lifetime to build
If I must live, it won't be begging
For my culture and for what I believed in
If I must fall, at least it will be fighting
So they can't kidnap my freedom
If I must keep quiet, it will be letting
The wind from here speak for me
I don't want to see my people worshiping
A God that can't hear the Sun
If I must scream, my hate will raise
Such tempest, that my anger will freeze you
If I must kill, it won't be murdering
The white man does it, not to survive
I know that the day will arrive
In which freedom rains
And that written on the moon
With the ink of a carnation
You can read "live in peace"
I know that the day will arrive
In which freedom rains
And that written on the moon
With the ink of a carnation
You can read "live in peace"
Don't let the melancholy
Of your memory be the rear-view mirror
Don't let a border
Determine the nation of a flower
If I must scream, my hate will raise
Such tempest, that my anger will freeze you
If I must kill, it won't be murdering
The white man does it, not to survive
I know that the day will arrive
In which freedom rains
And that written on the moon
With the ink of a carnation
You can read "live in peace"
I kiss the ground and on my knees
Say goodbye to the seas
In another life I'll return
Today heads will roll
Today they will roll
Translation:
Heads Will Roll
