A thousand voices in combat will raise
Shall sing
A song of liberty
With determination
The homeland will prevail.

May 26, 1981 - AM 31:47 - 32:23 Small daughter of mine,
Forgive me for falling silent,
But this silence
is also a scream
That reaches all men in the town,
That in the early morning
Left their lives to make possible
Your dream,
Daughter of mine.

Music
May 26, 1981 - AM 35:43 - 36:53 Small daughter of mine,
Who barely begins to feel
the passage of time on your girl’s skin
And to look at the prints on your firm hands,
That kiss mine before sleeping.

Small daughter of mine,
I love you so much
I don’t want to bequeath you the pain of my days,
That is why I propose and I’m determined happiness
That I sow with my song and it will become your cornstalk,
And it will become your cornstalk.

Small daughter of mine,
When you ask me
Who owns the earth? Who owns poetry?
Who owns bitterness? Who owns the smile?
I kiss your eyes with the utmost tenderness.

Small daughter of mine,
I must explain to you
That the struggle is hard,
But the wound is less painful when it is--
