Lyrics & Translation

[English] I am, I am what they left behind
I am all the leftovers of what they stole
A town hidden on the summit
My skin is leather, that's why it withstands any climate
I am a smoke factory
Peasant labor for your consumption
Cold front in the middle of summer
Love in the time of cholera, my brother
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've known
I am the photograph of a disappeared person
The blood inside your veins
I am a piece of land that is worthwhile
A basket with beans
I am Maradona against England scoring two goals on you
I am what holds 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 walking, listen!
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 pains
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 pains
I have the lakes, I have the rivers
I have my teeth for when I smile
The snow that makes up my mountains
I have the sun that dries me and the rain that bathes me
A desert drunk with peyote
A shot of pulque to sing with the coyotes
Everything I need
I have my lungs breathing light blue
The altitude that suffocates
I am the molars in my mouth chewing coca
Autumn with its withered leaves
Verses written under the starry night
A vineyard full of grapes
A sugarcane field under the sun in Cuba
I am the Caribbean Sea that watches over the little houses
Making rituals of holy water
The wind that combs my hair
I am all the saints that hang from my neck
The juice of my struggle is not artificial
Because the fertilizer of my land is natural
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 pains
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 pains
You can't buy the sun
You can't buy the rain
(Let's walk)
(Let's walk)
(Let's draw the road)
You can't buy my life (let's walk)
The land is not for sale
Rough work, but with pride
Here we share, what's mine is yours
These people don't drown with big waves
And if it collapses, I rebuild it
I also don't blink when I look at you
So you remember my last name
Operation Condor invading my nest
I forgive, but I never forget, listen!
(Let's walk) Here we breathe struggle
(Let's walk) I sing because it is heard
(Let's draw the road) Oh yes, yes, that
(Let's walk) Here we stand
Long live America!
You can't buy my life
