Em             D            Am                 Em 
   Wire fences still coiled    with flowers of    the night 
Em              D                Am                 Em 
   Songs of the birds like hands     call the earth      to witness 
Em            D     Am               Em           Em 
   Sever from fear      before taking    flight

Em     Em    D   Am                  
   lélélé... 
Em  Em              D       Am                  
      Fences that fail and fall to the ground 
Em     Em    D   Am                  
   lélélé... 
Em     Em    D   Am                  
   lélélé... 
Em  Em             D     Am          Em 
       Bearing the fruit from Jara's hands 

Em                    D    Am                      Em 
  Me siento solo y perdido    una vela alumbra mi camino 
D 
   Cruzando tierras que nunca he visto 
Am                       Em 
   Cruzando el rio de mi destino 
Em                   D   Am                       Em 
   Solo soy un chico mas    que suena en alto y mirando al mar
