When I no longer sing sons* or ride in the wind,
Nor ride in the wind, when I no longer sing sons,

When I no longer sing sons or ride in the wind,
Nor ride the wind, when I no longer sing sons,

You will remember my cries/speeches because I leave the feeling,
Because I leave the feeling sown in your hearts,

You will remember my cries/speeches because I leave the feeling,
Because I leave the feeling sown in your hearts.

Goodbye/farewell, goodbye/farewell, mother of the river, mother of the river, the black rain on the farmhouse!
Goodbye/farewell, goodbye/farewell, mother of the forest mother of the forest, the black rain on the horizon!

Even if they look at me, humble in my actions,
Humble in my actions and even if they look at me,

Even if they look at me, humble in my actions,
Humble in my actions and even if they look at me,

It is my pride to defend the land where I grew up,
Even if they look at me, humble my behavior,

It is my pride to defend the land where I grew up,
Even if they look at me, humble my behavior.

Goodbye/farewell, goodbye/farewell, mother of the river, mother of the river, the black rain on the farmhouse!
Goodbye/farewell, goodbye/farewell, mother of the forest, mother of the forest, the black rain on the horizon!

Don't send me into the dark to die like a traitor,
And to die like a traitor, don't send me into the dark.

I am a good man and as a good man I will die facing the sun.
Do not send me into the dark to die like a traitor.

Goodbye/farewell, goodbye/farewell, father corn, mother jaguar, if I die at war/fighting I'll become a forest to flourish!

Goodbye/farewell, goodbye/farewell, mother jaguar, father corn, if I die at war/fighting I will be food for your root!
