Diana Avella - La Tierra del Sur - English lyrics

La Tierra del Sur (The Land of the [Global] South)

by Diana Avella http://www.myspace.com/dianaavellarap

The land of the south
Where my soul is born
Roots sink in
Legendary struggles
Before, way before
Of hymns and flags
That by being evil
Imposed borders
People with histories
They knew the plans
They knew of demons
That would seek
Our extermination
They asked of the sun
And of all their gods
Union and attitude
Against colonizers
Incas, Mayas
The indigenous and their races
Resist, yet
At the Sierra Nevada
of Santa Marta
Guajira, Amazonas Cauca.

Africa, Kenya
The East, insurgent
Durban Palestine
Recent history
The Black Panthers
Still take care of their people
Kilimanjaro
Oversees potently
The Land of fire
Iraq maintains itself
The West rejects
Its people sustain
The battle waged
On all fronts.

Chorus:
May the land tell
The real story
The five continents
One single flag [twice]

The neighborhoods demand
The ghetto calls us
From east to west
From north to south
With Graffiti, with D.J.
M.C. and Break Dance
Let's show the world
The Hip-hop force.
