The Last Of The Guaranis
We seek a place revealed by the gods
Where our people can live and be free
Free from pain and any suffering
Where we can find our immortality
We’ve walked long distances in search of this land
This is my life, my soul and my home
If you take me away from here
You’ll take my life and my hope will be gone
We shall!
Stand firm and never leave
Call for tupã, he’ll hear the call
We’ll fight for our beliefs
Until!
Until the last one falls
We’ll stand until the last one dies
The last of the guaranis
On through the centuries we have seen
The expropriation of our home lands
They came with fire, they brought new diseases
Killed our gods and destroyed our beliefs
They raped our women and killed our men
There is no escape from facing our death
Five hundred years of fighting in vain
Our tribe is strong, we will never surrender
We shall!
Stand firm and never leave
Call for tupã, he’ll hear the call
We’ll fight for our beliefs
Until!
Until the last one falls
We’ll stand until the last one dies
The last of the guaranis
We are tired of endless excuses
We’ll try to take back what was stolen from us
And if they force us out again
We’ll stand and fight until the end
We shall!
Stand firm and never leave
Call for tupã, he’ll hear the call
We’ll fight for our beliefs
Until!
Until the last one falls
We’ll stand until the last one dies
The last of the guaranis
