O Demdem by Salidummay

(English translation)

Beloved, open your heart
So that you can hear
So that you can understand
This song of the struggle

Beloved, I can’t endure
The heaviness in my heart
Whenever I see our people
Suffering from exploitation

Beloved, I bid you farewell
I will roam the Cordillera
I will join the comrades
I will serve the masses

Beloved, wipe away your tears
For this is not the end
of the love that we nurtured
in the midst of struggle

Beloved, I will not weary
Of waiting for the time
When you will join me
My heart will then rejoice

Beloved, when you miss me
Bring out my picture
and sing this song of mine
And I’ll be there by your side

Beloved, our love for each other
Is a love that is boundless
We offer to the struggle
We offer to the motherland
