I am now alone and gathering silences in voidityA
-
I am carrying the distance upon my shoulders dragging my feetA
-
along the road my hands dropped by the weight of inactionB
-
Veil my eyes my earsC
-
In our land where flowers bloom drops of blood are fallingD
-
In our land where birds sing the air is laden with sighsE
-
the days are tied to the trees and hangedA
-
the rising sun is removed and flung awayF
-
savagely into the rocks of the westA
-
each dawn is vomiting blood and my peopleG
-
sit with folded handsH
-
Why don't the mountains scream in rageI
-
why don't the skulls of nights break into piecesJ
-
why don't these millions of stars crush themselvesK
-
to death and fallL
-
In my own country my voice has becomeM
-
fugitive the voice I raise here shoot into skyN
-
and stuck up somewhere never returnsO
-
people why don't you listen to meP
-
Oh they don't know to wake upQ
-
They don't know how to open their mouth and yawnR
-
They don't know how to stretch their swarthy handsH
-
and thunder their legs on the earthS
-
They are our own people let usT
-
give them our strengthU
-
Let us give the entire content of ourV
-
existence to themW
-
who make our country who make our historyP
-
who fulfill our dreams and aspirationsX
-
Canto VIN
-
You called me but I would have any how come in searchY
-
of you even without your call in quest of your voicesJ
-
Looking with my ears with my eyes with my skinZ
-
with my nostrilsA2
-
Not one but with all my sensesB2
-
searching in all directions of my countryP
-
I came not that I only know and youC2
-
don't know but that we all shall walk in theD2
-
same direction hand in handA
-
Not that we should all speak the same wordA
-
but that our word shall not be a mere wordA
-
but a flame of light which will illumineZ
-
the paths of the peopleG
-
And that we shall realize it is within usT
-
it is for this I am in search of youC2
-
My friends my words and thoughts are countriesE2
-
never tread by the feet of any man my consciousness is a gypsyP
-
who knows no boundaries familiarV
-
to the antiquated history of mankindA
-
My footsteps are mighty wild lions thatA
-
sprawl in the dense forest unaware of fearF2
-
I fight with flowers I fight with gardens of flowersG2
-
I fight with clouds fight with fierce stormsH2
-
Fight I breath to live my limbs know no submissive posturesG2
-
I am the solder of righteous indignationZ
-
Truth is the volcano that explodes in my bosomM
-
truth is the fierce cataract that roars in my voiceI2
-
I burn my selfish body and flow like a river molten goldA
-
in the highways of my nationZ
-
Come with meP
-
Why fear Be not afraid of yourselfJ2
-
But be afraid for your country forK2
-
understand how great are the losses of your countryP
-
before your petty personal onesX
-
How can you eat and sleep amidstA
-
this colossal destructionZ
-
You know my brothersG2
-
I want new voices brimming with red red hot consciousnessT
-
To make my own weapons and armouryP
-
to wipe out the tears of my nationZ
-
You don't know perhaps but I knowZ
-
there are mines of sulfur in your voicesJ
-
Every poem that you make is gun to fightA
-
and every line that you carry is a canonZ
-
to blow up the enemyP
-
I bequeath my voice to my people myN
-
language breaths the oxygen of my nationZ
-
my country is the life of my artA
-
I am the prophet of bloodA
-
In my country the leadership i mineZ
-
I shall not let it go to politicsL2
-
Come take up your arms your poemsM2
-
come like armies like storms snatching yourP
-
thunderbolts which for an occasion you hid in the cloudsN2
-
-
-
I am the tempestuous windA
-
I have come to distribute to you unrestA
-
I am shouting to chase away oppression from the earthS
-
come my people to chase away oppression from the earthS
-
to follow me you must ruthlessly set aside the selfJ2
-
that clings to you and become freeP
-
Your voice should banish your own song and giveO2
-
birth to the song of the people just as the voiceI2
-
of the sky hurls out its thunderP
-
You should join your wars with the wars of your countryP
-
How much love after all does your small life requireP
-
The earth will be inherited by the oppressed come let us excavateA
-
our dawn buried deep in this landA
-
Come my people take up your ploughsP2
-
come with your women your childrenZ
-
Come out of your hearths and homesQ2
-
from prisons of your schools and officesJ
-
your academies and assembliesE2
-
Come let us see centuries blown off in the winds of timeR2
-
Come walk with me through the villages towns and citiesE2
-
Flow like floods roar like floods through all theD2
-
streets and highways of our nationZ
-
Look at the graves in our fields in ourP
-
forests in our hills in our walls and halls whereP
-
they buried our dawnZ
-
Come take up your ploughs brothersG2
-
throw off your books my children let us suck the life breathS2
-
out of those swines who buried our dawnZ
-
and made us slaves in our own countryP
-
Let us search in the earth for the footstepsT2
-
of those millions who embraced suffering while buildingD
-
edifices of happiness in the fields of mankindA
-
come let us plough and tear the earthS
-
let us pick the millions of dumb voices that stumbleG
-
across our ploughU2
-
Let us unfurl this red desire and walk aheadA
-
Let us discover in the journey thatA
-
man has no death and life never diesE
-
Come friends there is a distance to goZ
-
come breaking your selfish wallsV2
-
Let us bathe in the epic waves of the peopleG
-
Let us e washed off to the shores of the new worldA
-
come let us goZ
