I ask those who are here
If they have never thought
That this land belongs to us,
And not to those who have all
I ask if on the land
You have never thought
That if our hands our ours
Then ours is that which they give us.Tear down the fences, tear down the fences.
The land is ours,
Is yours, is his,
It’s Pedro’s, Maria’s
Juan’s and Jose’s.If with my song I bother
Someone who hears it
It’s certain it’s a gringo
Or a master of this country.Tear down the fences, tear down the fences.
The land is ours,
It’s yours, it’s his,
It’s Pedro’s, Maria’s
Juan’s and Jose’s.I ask those who are here
If they have never thought
That this land belongs to us,
And not to those who have all.Tear down the fences, tear down the fences.
The land is ours
It’s yours, it’s his
It’s Pedro’s, Maria’s,
Juan’s and Jose’s.
