By This Freedom

By this freedom of song in the rain
will have to give everything
For this freedom to be closely tied
to the firm and sweet heart of the village
will have to give everything
For this release of sunflower opened at the dawn of factories
lit and lighted schools
and of this land that creaks and child awakening
will have to give everything
There is no alternative but the freedom
There is no more way to freedom
There is no other country that freedom
There will be no more poem without violent freedom music
By this freedom which is the terror
of those who always raped her
on behalf of lavish miseries
By this freedom which is the night of the oppressors
and the final dawn of all the already invincible people.
By this freedom that enlightens the sunken pupils
Barefoot
leaky roofs
and the eyes of children who wander in the dust
By this freedom which is the rule of the youth
By this freedom
beautiful life
will have to give everything
If necessary
even the shadow
and it will never be enough.
