I AM A PUENTE

I Am a PuenteI Am a Puente (bridge) planted, rooted and tended
By el Pueblo del pasado y del presente
(past and current peoples)

I Am a Puente planted, rooted and tended
In a beautiful, rough, stolen land

I Am a Puente planted, rooted and tended
To prepare this beautiful, rough stolen land I am in

I Am a Puente planted, rooted and tended
To prepare this land for the next Puente

Yo Soy un Puente
(I am a bridge)
