Assembly


Are you in agreement?
That they should not stain the skies
That they should not poison the river
That they should not dirty the soil.

Tender lúcuma of the valley
Golden wheat field
Gladiolus of the ravine
Come and sing with me.


Original in Spanish:

¿Están ustedes de acuerdo?
Que no se manchen los cielos
que no se envenene el río
que no se ensucien los suelos.

Lúcuma tierna del valle
campo dorado de trigo
gladiolo de la quebrada
vengan y canten conmigo

Alfredo Mires, "Resuellos"
