Si somos Americanos if we were Americans

Si somos americanos

(Rolando Alarcón)

Si somos americanos

somos hermanos, señores,

tenemos las mismas flores,

tenemos las mismas manos.

Si somos americanos,

seremos buenos vecinos,

compartiremos el trigo,

seremos buenos hermanos.

Bailaremos marinera,

refalosa, zamba y son.*

Si somos americanos,

seremos una canción.

Si somos americanos,

no miraremos fronteras,

cuidaremos las semillas,

miraremos las banderas.

Si somos americanos,

seremos todos iguales,

el blanco, el mestizo, el indio

y el negro son como tales.

if we were americans

(Chile) Rolando Alargon lyrics and music (1960s)

If we were Americans,

Good people, we are brothers,

We have the same flower,

We have the same hands.

If we were Americans,

We will be good neighbors,

We will share the wheat,

We will be good brothers.

We will dance on the sea-boat,

dance refarosa (dance in Chile and Argentina), samba and soun (a form of dance music in Latin America),

If we were Americans,

We will be a song.

If we were Americans,

We will not stare at the border,

We'll take care of the seeds,

We will keep our eyes on the flag.

If we were Americans,

We will all be equal,

Whether white, mixed race, Indian,

Still black.
