They divert the river, up there, up there
They mock our miseries, up there, up there
If thirst weakens us
And if our sources are dried up
All the water, too much water
They will perish one after another, up there, up there
We must take out our rifles, up there, up there
We must fight for our lives
But first we need to talk
To those gringos
Soon
Our lands are the most fertile
It's the water, it's the water
And we lived so peacefully
From our work
When we went up in our boats
When we fished in the lake
Happy, happy
They want to build a dam
Up there, up there
It's the valley they are ravaging
Up there, up there
They will flood our villages
And put us in cages
Up there like crows
We must stop them
Up there, up there
From destroying our homes
So beautiful, so beautiful
All the men will arm themselves
All the women will help them
We need water
We need water
We need water
Water

They show us contracts
That's all, that's all
That give them all the rights
Over us, over us
They want to erase us from time
And then from the world of the living
For money, money
What would we do in their city
Tomb, tomb
Like tigers exiled
To the zoo, to the zoo
That's why until the last one
We will fight to exist
For water, for water, for water, for water...
Water, water, water...
