The hidden wisdom of the mountain
Written by Candela Mendoza, wichi community, Province of Salta, Argentina.
Le territoire sait des choses que les humains ignorent.
Le territoire vit, voit et entend.
Il voit les choses que font l’homme et la femme.
Le territoire, ce sont les arbres, la terre, le vent, le tonnerre, la pluie
et tout ce qui vole et touche la terre.
Le territoire n’est pas seulement un territoire.
C’est lui qui connaît les pensées de l’homme.
L’homme ne le sait-il pas ?
Tu ne veux pas savoir ?
Je ne sais pas, il le sait
Nous qui sommes des êtres humains marchant sur la terre.
On peut l’entendre, le toucher.
Nous voulons le repos, la paix et nous les trouvons parce que nous sommes la terre.
Une partie du territoire.
Vous êtes la terre.
Levez-vous et écoutez.
Il vous écoutera.

The land knows things that humans don’t.
The land lives, sees and hears.
It sees the things that man and woman do.
The land is the trees, the earth, the wind, the thunder, the rain
and all things that fly and touch the earth.
The land is not just land.
He is the one who knows man’s thoughts.
Doesn’t man know?
Don’t you want to know?
I don’t know, he knows.
We who are human beings walking on the earth.
We can hear it, touch it.
We want rest, peace, and we find it because we are land.
Part of the land.
You are earth.
Stand up and listen.
It will listen to you.
