We lived happily working the land, we had culture and other things besides, when suddenly other humans arrived in boats, entered our homes, and invaded our privacy. They brought swords and giant crosses, claiming that by divine mandate they would read an imperial decree every day. They said they were cultured and experts in science, that they came in peace and willing to teach.

Oh, oh, oh, Eh, eh, la, la, la, ... They arrived meek as little angels, they deceived us with their abyssal promises, they stole our mountains and our resources, and today we don't know where they ended up. Oh, oh, oh, Eh, eh, la, la, la,

After observing us, they understood that we had no weapons and that we were easy prey to dominate. They showed sacred books and prayed with shouts, building altars to disguise their actions and cunningly enslaving us. After three years, they manipulated us and began to kill each of our leaders. They changed our first and last names and used strange words to differentiate the places they managed to usurp through bloodshed and fire.

Oh, oh, oh, Eh, eh, la, la, la... They arrived meek as little angels, deceived us with their abyssal promises, stole our mountains and our resources, and today we don't know where they ended up. Oh, oh, oh, Eh, eh, la, la, la...

They saw the gold in our mountains and other metals they also coveted, instilling fear in us to exterminate us, managing to reduce our population and control us without a second thought. They installed governments adorned in lace and sumptuous suits to put on a show. Today we all rebel against the invaders, and they must return everything they stole, asking for forgiveness, because we must all exclaim together that we are not plants, but that even our plants must be respected.

Oh, oh, oh, Eh, eh, la, la, la, ... They arrived meek as little angels, they deceived us with their swarm, they stole our mountains and our resources, and today we don't know where they ended up. Oh, oh, oh, Eh, eh, la, la, la,
