Text Translation

Hermanos, tomémonos de las manos. Juntos en el andar, juntos en el llorar. Hermanas, tomémonos de las manos. Volaremos hacia el sol, viajaremos hasta el mar. Nadie nos quitará la fuerza de la unidad y nadie nos hundirá en el frío de la soledad. Porque tú, mi hermano; porque tú, mi hermana, me sostendrás en toda oscuridad. Una gran tempestad con furia amenazará la fuerza de la hermandad y lo bello de la amistad. Pero tú, mi hermano; pero tú, mi hermana, me sostendrás en toda oscuridad. - Samuel Pascoe Brothers, let’s take each other by the hand. Together as we walk forward, together as we cry. Sisters, let’s take each other by the hand. We will y to the sun, we will travel to the sea. No one can take away the strength of our unity, And no one will bury us in cold solitude. Because you, my brother; and you, my sister, Will sustain me in the darkness. A great storm will rage, Threatening the strength of brotherhood and the beauty of friendship. But you, my brother; and you, my sister, Will sustain me in the darkness. -Translation by Katie Villaseñor
