The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "El Cielo Está Dentro de Mí" by Charlie Musselwhite.
Lyrics
En lo alto de la sierra
Me detuve a descansar
Pero sentí que me iba
Sin moverme del lugar
Los ojos se me perdieron
En aquella inmensidad
Y me olvidé de mi mismo
Tanto mirar y mirar.
De pronto me ha preguntado
La voz de la soledad
Si andaba buscando el cielo
Y yo respondí quizás
El cielo está dentro de uno
Y está el infierno también
El alma escribe sus libros
Pero ninguno los lee
A veces uno camina
Entre la sombra y la luz
En la cara la sonrisa
Y en el corazón la cruz
Búscalo al cielo en ti mismo
Que allí lo vas a encontrar
Pero no es fácil hallarlo
Pues hay mucho que luchar
Por caminos solitarios
Yo me puse a caminar
Por fuera nada buscaba
Pero por dentro quizás
(Gracias a hector gaita por esta letra)
Lyrics translation
High in the mountains
I stopped to rest
But I felt like I was leaving.
Without moving from the place
My eyes are lost
In that vastness
And I forgot about myself
Both look and look.
Suddenly he asked me
The Voice of loneliness
If I was looking for heaven
And I answered Maybe
The sky is within one
And there's hell too
The soul writes its books
But no one reads them.
Sometimes you walk
Between shadow and light
On the face the smile
And in the heart the cross
Seek heaven in yourself
That's where you'll find him
But it's not easy to find it
Well, there's a lot to fight for.
By lonely paths
I started walking
On the outside I was looking for nothing
But inside maybe
