Abran La Puerta

Open the Door

Abran La Puerta

We will not let them closeNo dejaremos que cierren
The beautiful door that alwaysLa linda puerta que siempre
It has been open to lifeHa estado abierta a la vida

I'm not staying at homeYo no me quedo en la casa
Well, I'm going to battlePues al combate me voy
I'm going to defend the doorVoy a defender la puerta
In the Momboy ValleyEn el valle de momboy

Saint Benedict, take a stickSan benito échate un palo
And sings with joyY canta con alegria
That the drums are beatingQue en motatan los tambores
They already resonate through lifeYa resuenan por la vida

Hey, hey, heyJei, jei, jei
I'm going thereVoy pa allá

Let's go to BoconoVamonos pa bocono
Let's go up the mountainVamonos montaña arriba
To kiss the gardenPa darle un beso al jardin
That remained foreverQue para siempre quedó
In the eyes of BolívarEn los ojos de bolívar

Hey, hey, heyJei, jei, jei
I'm going thereVoy pa allá

I'm going to tell caracheVoy a decirle a carache
The one with the beautiful womenEl de las mujeres lindas
That invites you to betijoqueQue convide a betijoque
And to the hills of BonillaY a lomas de bonilla

And to all the small townsY a todos los pueblecitos
That adorn the mountain rangeQue adornan la serranía
So they can go looking for firewoodPa que vayan buscando leña
In case the fight cools downPor si la lucha se enfría

And to comrade LinaresY al compañero linares
With his beautiful mandolinCon su hermosa mandolina
I'll tell him to write a songLe dire que escriba un canto
Let it be a flower and a seedQue sea flor y sea semilla

To defend the doorPara defender la puerta
That is to say the earth itselfEs decir la tierra misma
