The Captive

La Cautiva

There are things in lifeExistem coisas na vida
That we just can't translateQue a gente não consegue traduzir
But if we want to understand themMas se quisermos entendê-las
We just need to open our heartsPrecisamos apenas abrir os nossos corações

I hear the voice of the bird singingOimeva oico peyaire petêi guyrá oñemiva
I’m holding the captive close to my heartChe ambojhera la cautiva oicore iña pytimby
My heart is a shelter, protecting her from harmChe py are o yatapyva acanunduicha iñarova
Love flows like a river, filling my soulMborayjhu chupé arecova arema iñonga tupy

My love for the captive, my love for youChe renoi na la cautiva che renoi tajhá nde ipype
Don’t let that tree block your view of the skyAní upe caágüype ne año reicore sufri
I can’t help but feel this deep sadnessChe co icatunte aveí oipea mbaembyasygüi
Your presence brings me peace, it’s like a warm hugAyoravo nde cupygüi oicova ne ñapyti

Your place is where I’ll always return, like a faithful birdNe renda jha arecopama yaveve catu guyraicha
I’ll find you wherever you are, even if it’s far awayYajhupytyne oime jhaicha che recojhá mombyry
Don’t think that your pain will stay with youAninte que rembyasy nde rapycuere opytava
You’re my light, shining in my heartNente co che angayara reicova iña pytimby

You’re the one, you’re the one I’ll always cherishNde rejhente nde rejhente aqué jha'apayvo jhaeva
You’re like a treasure in my heart, so dearOimene pacoicoveva che corazón yarami
I’ll keep you safe, even in your cageNdente nena güireí reico pe nde jaula ruguape
You’re the song that brings joy to my soulNde reseigüi che rendape nde yaragüi ronõmi

And the woman who loves me, love is like a fireJha cuña ipyajhatava mborayjhu oicua'á seÿva
My heart is a garden, blooming with loveChe corazón oñotyva qyseichaguá mboraijhu
I’ll hold you close, never letting goOicojhaguá che cutu manterei jhaijhupape
Come to me, I’ll wrap you in my embraceOu rangüe che rendape jha ipepope che peyú
