| They come in white boats many years ago
 | 
| They gave you presents and promised you a lot
 | 
| But they lock you on a chain
 | 
| Put you in a mine
 | 
| And a sad word for the glory of our time
 | 
| Fly away little Paraguayo
 | 
| Spread your wings out to the sky
 | 
| Fly away little Paraguayo
 | 
| 'Cause the white men’s on the ride
 | 
| And your body is so hungry
 | 
| And your mind is filled with fear
 | 
| Fly away little Paraguayo
 | 
| 'Cause the soldiers soon be here
 | 
| They said you’re just an indian
 | 
| Not better than a beast
 | 
| Only good for working like a slave
 | 
| And so you’re sweat and run
 | 
| 'Til the day is done
 | 
| While you know you could be better in your grave
 | 
| Fly away little Paraguayo
 | 
| Spread your wings out to the sky
 | 
| Fly away little Paraguayo
 | 
| 'Cause the white men’s on the ride
 | 
| And your body is so hungry
 | 
| And your mind is filled with fear
 | 
| Fly away little Paraguayo
 | 
| 'Cause the soldiers soon be here
 | 
| Fly away little Paraguayo
 | 
| Spread your wings out to the sky
 | 
| Fly away little Paraguayo
 | 
| 'Cause the white men’s on the ride
 | 
| And your body is so hungry
 | 
| And your mind is filled with fear
 | 
| Fly away little Paraguayo
 | 
| 'Cause the soldiers soon be here |
