Here it goes, it's a homemade translation. Hope it helps!

Some time ago a little boy asked me
for the meaning of the word Patria
I was surprised by his question and with the soul
in my throat I said to him: flower of Barrio, little brother
Patria are so many beautiful things, like that old
tree that we are told in that poem, like
the tenderness that you still keep even after grandma's dead
Patria are so many beautiful things.
They are the walls of a Barrio, is it's black hope
it's what is taken in the soul by anyone who goes away.
it's the martyrs that shout Flag, Flag, Flag, Flag

Do not memorize lessons of dicatorships or lockouts,
Paytria is not defined by thos who suppress the people.
The Patria is a feeling like an old man's gaze,
sun of eternal spring, laughter of new little sister
I answer you little brother: Patria are so many beautiful things.
