Blue and Resistance

It is «our» land

It is full of force

She is a woman called «llanera»

She is the drums party of San Juan

The green Avila in spring time

She is strong as a pregnant woman from the Andes

She is radiant like a sunrise in Mochima

 

The tricolor of my flag

Unfolds in stars up and high

Screaming at the sky with its weeping

Blue and resistance

Blue and resist

 

She is bright blue like every morning

She wakes up without rancor to give us home

Noble Land of the Liberator

Blended colors of races

You of roasted skin, I with blue eyes

Brothers all the same

We are humans of good heart

 

Blue and resistance

Blue and resist

 

When fresh harvest cacao mixes together

Green banana inside my rice and my arepa

It is the land that saw many heroes born

The one who fought on horseback for independence

God blessed us with miracle waterfalls

He gave us five white eagles

And a jungle painted by God

Turquoise Rocks by the Caribbean Sea

Palm trees able to elevate your soul

Dried droughts like distant deserts

Our whole lives rooted in this land

 

She gave us everything

Blessed us

Too much

So much

That she spoiled us

That’s how the wolves came to the siege

Nature and vividness bought hearts

Black and obscene power put in heavy oil

Spilled its thickness

Slowly

For more than a generation

Accustomed to survive

Searching for air

Blackmailing the soul

Dividing the soil

Our homeland is bleeding

The aurora badly hit

¡Morale bogged down!

 

The tricolor of my flag

Unfolds in stars up and high

Screaming at the sky with its weeping

Blue and resistance

Blue and resist

 

Black oil embalmed all

It tested the «revolución»

Corrupting noble hearts

Wolves with hunger

Dragging years of thinking

Light years of progress

Destroying families

Separating brothers

Creating conflict

Predators, inhuman beings!

They are just like almighty kings

Using the people for propaganda

So they can devour until the last gallon

That is everyone’s, that is ours

They intend to possess it all

Blue and resistance

Blue and resist

We only have

A heart in the chest

May no one corrupt it

May no one buy it

May no one contemplate it

May no one touch it

May hunger doesn’t shake it

And novelty always be present

Standing up and marching

Until its people can bear it

 

Earth of three colors

I believe in your strength

Of high flow as The Capanaparo

The good ones, without doubt, are more

We invoke your extensive wisdom

As The Arestinga incites us

Help us win

Together with God and Mother Earth

This herd of hate

This pack of wolves

We cannot advocate for more,

But for force

Clemency

Intelligence

Relevance

Resistance

May God protect us!

 

The tricolor of my flag

Unfolds in stars up and high

Screaming at the sky with its weeping

Blue and resistance

Blue and resist

 

«Yellow from our gold

Blue from our high sphere

Red that reverberates

Like the blood of the bull

I swear by this song

What I learned at school

Venezuela’s flag

Because I love you so much»,
