LAUTANEN GUATEMALAN VERTAA PLATE OF GUATEMALA'S BLOOD
  
Ateria piispalle, katkera hakkelus,A meal for the Bishop, a bitter hash,
annos romurautaa, tuhkaa, kyyneleitä,a plate of iron debris, ashes, tears,
lautanen Guatemalan verta.a plate of Guatemala's blood.
  
Ateria pankkiirille, etelän lasten poskipäitä,A meal for the banker, cheekbones of children from the South,
annos räjähdyksiä, raunioita, kauhua,a plate of expolsions, ruins, horror,
lautanen Guatemalan verta.a plate of Guatemala's blood.
  
Ateria everstille ja everstin rouvalle,A meal for the Colonel and his wife,
varuskunnan juhlissa, kaikissa juhlissa,at the garrison feast, at every feast,
lautanen Guatemalan verta.a plate of Guatemala's blood.
  
Niin, ateria kaikille teille rikkaat läheltä ja kaukaa,Yes, a meal for all of you rich ones from near and far,
lähettiläät, ministerit, kammottavat pöytäkumppanit,ambassadors, ministers, despicable dinner guests,
mukavaa teetä juovat naiset mukavisssa tuoleissa:ladies having your nice cup of tea in your comfortable chairs:
sotkuinen läikehtivä annos likaista köyhää verta,a messy overflowing plate of filthy blood of the poor,
joka ainoa aamu, joka ainoa viikko, aina ja aina,each and every morning, each and every week, forever,
lautanen Guatemalan verta edessänne aina.a plate of Guatemala's blood in front of you forever.
  
Joka ainoa aamu, joka ainoa viikko, aina ja aina,Each and every morning, each and every week, forever,
lautanen Guatemalan verta edessänne aina.a plate of Guatemala's blood in front of you forever.
  
Joka ainoa aamu, joka ainoa viikko, aina ja aina,Each and every morning, each and every week, forever,
lautanen Guatemalan verta edessänne aina.a plate of Guatemala's blood in front of you forever.
