The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Ruta Del Coya" by Leon Gieco.
Lyrics
Dios sol, Dios agua,
que cae del cielo gris al alma.
Viento que arrastra voces que no se quieren ir,
río que se llevó sangre, barro y paja por sueños.
Dios sal, Dios lágrimas,
un horizonte en cruz en Jama.
Allá bien alto, donde el metal no alcanza,
crecen tus alas, nieve quieta y naciente el alba.
Dios luz, Dios luna,
un campo de estrellas, altura.
Rosa de estos vientos en América inmolada,
ruta del coya, rabia de siglos en marcha.
Dios paz, Dios guerra,
le dan sepultura en tierra.
Van reclamándole una primavera por nacer
Muerte y salvación por el camino del ángel.
Dios da, Dios quita
Le cuesta ver donde está la herida
Nunca hubo un lugar
donde se le pueda preguntar.
Lyrics translation
God sun, god water,
falling from the gray sky to the soul.
Wind that drags voices that don't want to go,
river that took blood, mud and straw for Dreams.
God salt, God tears,
a cross horizon in Jama.
High up there, where the metal can't reach,
grow your wings, still snow and rising Dawn.
God Light, God Moon,
a field of stars, height.
Rose of these winds in America immolated,
ruta del coya, rage of centuries in progress.
God peace, God war,
they bury him in the ground.
They're calling for a spring to be born
Death and salvation by the way of the angel.
God gives, God takes away
It's hard to see where the wound is.
There was never a place
where you can ask him.
