1. The earth has shooting stars like the sky that do not expect
Except the tyrannical darkness its demise

2. And its rights are infringed but in
This sky its foundations were shaken

3. So the shooting stars of the sky protested when they saw
The shooting stars of the earth afflicted with what afflicted them

4. This is the reward of an active youth
Who thought its words were stronger for it

5. And for the mercy of the fathers when it was late
It saw for it its children a safer refuge

6. Leave my tears above my chest indeed
For our hearts in its pouring most healing
