Five hundred years ago We discovered that we were Indians Our old rituals Turned into sin and we were guilty for not wearing their clothes
Not allowed anymore to worship the sun, the moon and the earth Those who did not pledge allegiance to their kings were burnt alive
Pre-chorus Traded our silver and gold for their diseases Tried to make us fall on our knees Destroyed our nature and cut down our trees We stood still, INCA MAPUCHE GUARANI
Chorus We were born in South America We have native blood, we have Indian hearts We were born in South America To rebuild what has been torn apart
Oooooo, WE ARE BORN IN SOUTH AMERICA!
Working in the silver mines Terrible conditions and derisive wage Many lost their lives Or were enslaved by oppressive regimes
Totalitarianism supported by the US of A Innocent people Persecuted, battered and slain
REPEAT PRE-CHORUS AND CHORUS
Guitar Solo: Daniel Rosick
Dictatorship and exploitation Overruled all of our nations Imperialist authority Imposing freedom – hypocrisy
Media control and manipulation Violent forms of colonization History written in blood Drowned heroes in a lake of mud
From the Andes to the Amazon Desert mountains and wild lands The world‘s biggest rain forest All exploited by the conquerors
From Cape Horn to the Darien Gap Waterfalls, rivers and lakes Our resources have been robbed By European failed monarchies
