Madre Tierra

Mother Earth

Madre Tierra

So much sufferingTan sufrido ser
And tender at the same timeY tierno a la vez
Soul of a womanAlma de mujer
And body too.Y cuerpo tambiÈn.
An old tree isàrbol viejo es
Broken for not giving inQuebrado por no ceder
To a cruel windAnte un viento cruel
That keeps it from dying on its feet.Que le impide morir de pie.

So much baggage to let goTanto lastre que soltar
And the shore feels so farY que lejos la orilla
You forgot how to breatheTe olvidaste de respirar
To give life some air.Por dar aire a una vida

And today this clumsy inspirationY hoy esta torpe inspiraciÑn
Can't express what's inside meNo puede expresar lo que hay en mÌ
My heart doesn't beat anymoreYa no me late el corazÑn
My chest tightens in front of you.Mi pecho se encoge ante ti.

Mother Earth, comeMadre tierra ven
Today it's my turnHoy me toca a mÌ
To make you happyhacerte feliz
If you could seeSi pudieras ver
All those things thatTodo aquello que
You've made me feel.Me has hecho sentir

Mother Earth, comeMadre tierra ven
If I could just onceSi pudiera tan solo una vez
Make you laughhacerte reÌr
Mother Earth, comeMadre tierra ven
I wish I could fill you with goodQuisiera colmarte de bien
And I don't know how to do itY no se como hacer
Mother Earth, come.Madre tierra ven.

On the shore it's waitingA la orilla esta
For a signEsperando una seßal
A bottle, a noteUna botella, un papel
The tide will say.La marea dirÀ.
Her weathered skinSu curtida piel
Hides her little faithOculta su poca fe
Nothing to gainNada que ganar
And nothing to lose.Y nada que perder.
How much more love can I give youCuanto amor mÀs te he de dar
To soothe this wound of mine.Y poder calmar esta herida mÌa.

And today this clumsy inspirationY hoy esta torpe inspiraciÑn
Can't express what's inside meNo puede expresar lo que hay en mÌ
My heart doesn't beat anymoreYa no me late el corazÑn
My chest tightens in front of you.Mi pecho se encoge ante ti.
