The prayer, Plegaria a un labrador, by Víctor Jara translated into English by Joanne Pottlitzer

Stand up
Look at the mountains
source of the wind and the sun and the water
you who direct their course
you who sowed the flight of your soul

Stand up
Look at your hands
Extend them to your brother so you can grow
Together we can go, united in blood
The future can begin today

Deliver us from that which keeps us in misery
Bring us your kingdom of justice and equality
Blow like the wind the flowers of the valley
Clean like fire the cannon of my gun

Make your will be done at last on earth
Give us your strength and your courage as we fight.
Blow the valley flower like the wind
Clean like fire the cannon of my gun like fire

Stand up
Look at your hands
Extend them to your brother so you can grow
Together we go, united in blood
Now and at the hour of our death, amen
