Canto a la Madre Tierra

Ode to Earth

Here (mp3 below)'s a couple of rough (very!) ideas for how we might develop this wonderful idea of a great global choir, people all over the world coming together to sing out joy, hope, care for the Earth and universal sister/brotherhood. To support the students striking for Mother Earth, 

And to call for specific immediate action to realize that vision.

 

 

 

Ode to Earth

Vision of Schiller and Beethoven of All Peoples

United in Joy and Universal Sister/Brotherhood

_____

Earth is One, Our Mother, Our Glory

Life and hope, beauty and peace

Caring for each one of her children

No matter race, gender, colo(u)r or creed.

But now our Mother is close to dying

Beaten, violated, ravaged raw

Join hands with us now, O My Family

Come to her rescue as never before!

Oceans are surging, the sun it is scalding

Forests and animals cower in fear

Build the Great Dream, O All you Peoples,

Singing, creating, the future that's near!

Every person, all races and nations

Sharing our joy, our tears,, our blood

Tomorrow is now, O beloved family,

Build it, now, together, united in love!

 

Canto a la Madre Tierra

Según la visión de Schiller y Beethoven

de todos los pueblos unidos en la alegría

y en la hermandad universal

_______

 

La Tierra es Una, Madre, Gloria

Vida, esperanza, paz, fervor

Cuidando a todas y todos sus hij@s

Sin raza, genero y sin color

Pero ya la Madre está agonizando

Golpeada, violada y aún peor

Hoy es el momento, O mi Gente

Salvémosla ahorita sin temor!

Mares turbulentos, el sol calcinando

Bosques, animales encogidos en pavor

Ahora es el momento juntarse las manos

Cantando, creando, el futuro mejor

Cada persona, naciones y razas

Mezclando su alegría, sangre y sudor

Hoy es el Mañana, O familia querida

Construyámoslo YA unid@s en el amor!
