Lyrics

Alguien te dio tu propia vida
fruto de un amor doloroso.
Alguien te dio tu propio nombre
y marcótu paso.
Te dio la leche blanca de la luna
sacada de un pezón de raso.
Tú…y quién eres tú
si no existiera Madre Tierra
Tú…quién eres tú.
Alguien trazótu camino
dentro de la selva,
todo te lo dio sin nada a cambio.
Alguien besótu frente con la boca fresca
y cada noche puso un ángel en tu cuarto.
Tú…y quién eres tú
si no existiera Madre Tierra
Tú…y quién eres tú.
Madre Tierra, más mentira que verdad
solamente es una idea de mi mente
un recuerdo para olvidar.

Lyrics translation

Someone gave you your own life
the fruit of a painful love.
Someone gave you your own name
and marcotu pass.
He gave you the white milk of the moon
pulled from a satin nipple.
You ... and who are you
if Mother Earth did not exist
You ... who are you.
Someone trazotu way
inside the jungle,
he gave you everything with nothing in return.
Someone besotu forehead with fresh mouth
and every night he put an angel in your room.
You ... and who are you
if Mother Earth did not exist
You ... and who are you.
Mother Earth, more lie than truth
it's just an idea of my mind
a memory to forget.
