Lyrics
Vengo de donde viene
Mi amigo el viento
Traigo aromas de luz
Que provaron los cerros
Y armonias calladas
De la noche mas bella
No pregunten quien soy
Porque no se los digo
Solo sé que a dónde voy
El amor va conmigo
Y a puro valor
He cambiado mi suerte
Hoy voy hacia la vida
Hoy voy hacia la vida
Antes iba a la muerte
Cuando pedi justicia
No me la dieron
Cuando quise querer
A mi no me quisieron
Cuando un nido forme
Con traición lo quemaron
Cuando a Cristo recé
Ni me rezos llegaron
No pregunten quien soy
Porque no se los digo
Solo sé que a dónde voy
El amor va conmigo
Y a puro valor
He cambiado mi suerte
Hoy voy hacia la vida
Hoy voy hacia la vida
Antes iba… antes iba…
A la P i n c h e Muerte!
Lyrics translation
I come from where it comes from
My friend the wind
I bring scents of light
That the hills tasted
And quiet harmonies
Of the most beautiful night
Don't ask who I am
Because I don't tell them.
I just know where I'm going
Love goes with me
And pure value
I've changed my luck
Today I go to life
Today I go to life
I used to go to death
When I asked for justice
They didn't give it to me.
When I wanted to
They didn't want me.
When a nest forms
Treacherously burned him
When I prayed to Christ
They didn't even pray to me.
Don't ask who I am
Because I don't tell them.
I just know where I'm going
Love goes with me
And pure value
I've changed my luck
Today I go to life
Today I go to life
Before I was ... before I was…
A La P I N C H E death!
