Heal the wounds and shed the tears
Enough of a nightmare of 500 years!
Free the people! free the land!
Levanta-te! rise up! take a stand!

There is a new player
In your fucking chess game...
The indians now have a voice
No more tricks! no more lame!

Our word is our weapon
Our speech is our gun
Ya basta! viva zapata!
Justice will be done!

We're the ones you stepped on
For so many fucking years.
Covered faces, raised fists.
No more pain, no more fears!

Forced to a fucking corner
Of a world that goes round.
Ezln is making it clear:
"chiapas is not a us playground!"

Our word is our weapon
Our speech is our gun
Ya basta! viva zapata!
Justice will be done!

By the ballot or the bullet
By the bible or the gun
By any means necessary
Freedom must come!
