Lyrics

Hoy me levanto preparada
Dormí bien, soñé que volaba
Voy a hacer una cruz de sal
Pa´ asegurarme que hoy no va a llover
Que no se lleve
El río embravecido en su corriente
Todo lo que encuentre, todo lo que encuentre
Todo lo que se le pare enfrente
Hoy siento optimismo
De esos de después de una tormenta
Pero igual sigo esperando la próxima
Porque estamos en invierno, lluvias y deslizamientos
Inundación
Que no se lleve
El río embravecido en su corriente
Todo lo que encuentre, todo lo que encuentre
Todo lo que se le pare enfrente
Es la madre naturaleza
La pachamama maltratada
Que se queja, que se queja, que se queja
La tierra prometida por mi raza profanada
Que se estremece de dolor
Cuando sus hijos la contaminan, la deforestan, la esterilizan, la recalientan,
la industrializan
Que no se lleve…

Lyrics translation

Today I get up ready
I slept well, I dreamed I was flying
I'll make a salt cross
Pa make sure it won't rain today
Don't take him away.
The river raging in its stream
Everything I find, everything I find
Everything that stands in front of him
Today I feel optimism
Those after a storm
But I'm still waiting for the next one.
Because we are in winter, rains and landslides
Flood
Don't take him away.
The river raging in its stream
Everything I find, everything I find
Everything that stands in front of him
It's Mother Nature
The battered pachamama
Who complains, who complains, who complains
The Promised Land by my desecrated race
That shudders with pain
When your children pollute it, DeForest it, sterilize it, reheat it,
they industrialize it
Don't take him away.…
