1. O son of humble origins when you deemed yourself noble
And son of struggle over the ages victorious

2. In the darkness of the lowly hut you drank in
A spirit of light and nobility repeatedly

3. So you grew like a caring shepherd over mankind
Drawing inspiration from pain and distress

4. You toiled as a child in the fields and after
At night you toiled studying patiently

5. So your genius in childhood shone
Like the dawn, a light more brilliant than fire

6. And your youth in eloquence astounded
The elders and ruled over the powerful

7. And you were sent as delegate of a nation
That discerned genius in you that cannot be obscured

8. You defended the dignity of those who were
Subdued into slavery and embraced harm and shame

9. You called out tyranny will not remain a government
Proudly and you increased its majesty and lifespan

10. Alas! None but truth creates strength
Alas! However much it dazzles the sights

11. Let us free the prisoners for they are our brothers
In bondage who found life gloomy

12. And you reached the highest position, you increased it
Proudly and multiplied its majesty and ages

13. Were it not for the bigotry in the South provoked
By its foolish leaders, a violent storm

14. And they refused save for the abhorred war alone
A response and changed not their recklessness, partisans

15. So you made freeing the slaves a policy
And took uniting the country as a beacon

16. Until when your armies were victorious, you returned
Only as your forgiving country's leader

17. And you began to rebuild its fortune anew
Like rain emerging in the land illumination

18. And the hand of hope from the ashes as if
It revived creations and dwellings

19. But then destiny prepared for you a death
Oh what a pity and victory became disgraced

20. No, no, you were not killed an inglorious death
But for immortality repeated and openly

21. You purified with blood, O our redeemer
An ideal through the ages will contend

22. Whenever an oppressed being sacrificed nobly
You were to him a burning flame and ember

23. And he saw you in his dreams and certainty
Forever so he struggled against the tyrant
