Miriam Miriam – Sergio Umbria Letra, Lyrics:
It is the English who should
Learn our languages, he replied
Miriam. They’ll never bother
That’s why they’ll never get to know the soul
From the peoples they want to dominate
Our languages with wide and rich in
Forms of expression, just like it enriches
Our culture, I’m very sorry to be
They have lost mother tongues, such as
The case of the cuicas, Aztecs, among others
It is the English who should
Learn our languages, he replied
Miriam. They’ll never bother
That’s why they’ll never get to know the soul
From the peoples they want to dominate
I don’t know who it was who proclaimed that the
Main language should be English, I don’t think
That there must be a main language, because
Every language is rich to be able to speak it, but ours
It is the richest in expression
It is the English who should
Learn our languages, he replied
Miriam. They’ll never bother
That’s why they’ll never get to know the soul
From the peoples they want to dominate
