The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "basilio" by Marta Gomez.
Lyrics
Debajo de la tierra duerme un Dios
Dicen que es más fuerte que el Dios de afuera
Que si le da la gana te hace una broma
Y te encierra con él dentro de la tierra
Yo prefiero llevarle un ramito de coca
Pa` tenerlo contento y que no se ofenda
Y me deje salir corriendo del cerro
A inventarme la vida que a mí me toca
Kalma, Urku, Qhuya
Nina. Nocapi Kausay
Vida, ramito, Dios
Cerro, metal, la vida que me tocó
La suerte que yo sufro nadie la entiende
Solo el diablo que vive del mismo fuego
Por eso al tío Diablo cosas le ofrendo
Porque arriba del cerro ya ni Dios sube
Un día al año el carnaval me alegra
Y bajamos cantando de la montaña
Vestido de colores el viento suena
Como si con su voz él también dijera
Lyrics translation
Under the Earth a God Sleeps
They say he's stronger than the God outside
If he feels like it, he makes a joke.
And he encloses you with him in the Earth
I'd rather bring him a sprig of Coke.
To keep him happy and not to be offended
And let me run off the hill
To invent the life that I have
Kalma, Urku, Qhuya
Girl. Nocapi Kausay
Life, ramito, God
Hill, metal, the life that touched me
The luck I suffer no one understands
Only the devil who lives from the same fire
That's why Uncle Devil things I'm offering
Because above the hill no longer God goes up
One day a year the carnival makes me happy
And we came down singing from the mountain
Colorful dress the wind sounds
As if with his voice he also said
