"Sube, sube, sube" from the Album,
Escondido En Mi País (1996)
"It's Hidden in My Country"

Below: Lyrics in Spanish & English

English Translation


It rises, rises, rises
Flag of love
Little heart
and shines like the sun
and sings like the sea
It sings as the wind,
Dresser of wheat,
Sings like the river
My people sing.
If the people sing
they always have a future

You give me your hope, Native America
You give me your smile, Black America
You give me your poem, New America
New America, New America,
Your condor flew and the southern wind
Blew the wings of Blue America
All the south, like a heart, like a loaf of bread,
Rises to the sky of a dawn without pain... 

The flag of love, rises, rises, rises
Little heart,
and shines like the sun,
and sings as the sea. 
It sings for the voices
of the ones that dreamed,
Sings for the mouths
of those who cried.
It sings...
Sings for the beautiful
days that are gone
It sings for tomorrow,
It sings, good friend
Sings ....

~ translated from Spanish for
Axis of Logic by Les Blough

 

Español


Sube, sube, sube
Bandera del amor
Pequeño corazon
Y brilla como el sol
Y canta como el mar.
Canta como el viento
Peinador de trigo
Canta como el rio
Canta pueblo mio.
Si, los pueblos que cantan
Siempre tendran futuro.

Dame tu esperanza america india
Dame tu sonrisa america negra
Dame tu poema america nueva,
America nueva, america nueva . . .
Volara tu condor y el viento del sur
Soplara las alas de america azul.
Todo el sur, como un corazon, como un pan,
Subira al cielo de un amanecer sin dolor ...

Sube, sube, sube bandera del amor
Pequeño corazon
Y brilla como el sol
Y canta como el mar.
Canta por las voces
De los que soñaron
Canta por las bocas
De los que lloraron.
Canta ...
Canta por los bellos
Dias que se han ido
Canta por mañana
Canta buen amigo.
Canta ...
