La Cautiva

The Captive

La Cautiva

Oh, I hear you over thereOiméne oiko pe jaíre
A bird that's been caughtPeteĩ guyra oñemíva
I call you the captiveChe ambohéra la cautiva
Living in my heartOikore iñapytĩmby
I feel you in my soulChe py'áre ojatapy
Like a whisper in the nightAkãnundúicha iñarõva
Love for you that I holdMborayhu chupe arekóva
Is like a treasure in my chestArema iñongatupy

I see you, the captiveChe rendúna la cautiva
I call you to come closeChe renoi taha nde ypype
Don't hide in the shadowsAni umi ka'aguyre
Your years have been toughNe año reiko resufrí
I can only hope tooChe ko ikatúnte avei
To break free from this painRoipe'a mba'e mbyasygui
And I long for your touchHa ajoravo nde kupygui
That lingers in my mindOikova ne ñapytĩ

In your presence, I feel aliveNe rendaĝua arekopama
Always like a bird in flightJaveve katu guyráicha
We'll reach wherever we canJahupytyne oimeháicha
My heart is far awayChe rekoha mombyry
Don't ever feel sadAnínteke rembyasy
Your spirit will remainNde rapykuere opytava
You won't escape my gazeNdenteko che ãnga jara
You live in my heartReikova iñapytĩmby

Not without you, not without youNderehénte, nderehénte
I rise and fall like a waveAke ha apáyvo ha'éva
Is there life in this heart?Oiméne piko oikoveva
My heart beats for youChe korasõ jarami
Not from your dark pastNdente ne añagui rei
You live in your cageReiko nde jaula ruguape
From your escape to my sightNe resẽigui che rendápe
We’ll break free togetherNde jaragui roñomi

And a woman with a strong heartHa kuña ipy'a hatãva
Love that knows no boundsMborayhu oikuaase'ỹva
In my heart, it growsChe korasõme oñotỹva
Like a wild kind of loveKyseichagua mborayhu
To reach my soulOikohaguã che kutu
I’ll always cherish youManterei hayhupape
Before you come to meOu rangue che rendápe
And in my dreams, I’ll find youHa ipepópe che peju
