Humanly, and free,/and distant, and matter/that down there, very deep/I will rhyme a song.
Humanamente, y libre,/y distante, y materia/que allá abajo muy hondo/rimaré una canción.

From my invaded nation,/the battlefield today is independence.
Where does the laughter wander that decorated life/when your heart gathered my sadnesses?
