we shall dance the dance of life/to the rhythm of a fire of light/that will burst from the sun.
bailaremos la danza de la vida/al ritmo de un incendio de luz/que brotará del sol.

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