La Cautiva

The Captive

La Cautiva

Oh, I hear it over thereOiméne oiko pe jaíre
A bird that’s been caughtPeteĩ guyra oñemíva
I call her the captiveChe ambohéra la cautiva
She’s got me in her gripOikore iñapytĩmby
My heart is tied upChe py'áre ojatapy
Like a knot that won’t come undoneAkãnundúicha iñarõva
Love for her is what I holdMborayhu chupe arekóva
She’s my treasure, my prizeArema iñongatupy

I see the captiveChe rendúna la cautiva
I call out to you in your dreamsChe renoi taha nde ypype
Don’t let the jungleAni umi ka'aguyre
Make you suffer in silenceNe año reiko resufrí
I can’t take it anymoreChe ko ikatúnte avei
Tear away this painRoipe'a mba'e mbyasygui
And I’ll celebrate your beautyHa ajoravo nde kupygui
That’s in your heartOikova ne ñapytĩ

Your gaze is what I craveNe rendagua arekopama
Always like a bird in flightJaveve katu guyráicha
We’ll reach wherever we canJahupytyne oimeháicha
My home is far awayChe rekoha mombyry
Don’t ever be sadAnínteke rembyasy
Your spirit will stay strongNde rapykuere opytava
You’re not just my shadowNdenteko che ãnga jara
You’re alive in my heartReikova iñapytĩmby

Don’t you worry, don’t you worryNderehénte, nderehénte
I’ll hold you tight and never let goAke ha apáyvo ha'éva
Is there a chance you’ll live?Oiméne piko oikoveva
In my heart, you’re aliveChe korasõ jarami
You’re not just a ghostNdente ne añagui rei
You’re trapped in your cageReiko nde jaula ruguape
From your escape, I’ll be waitingNe resẽigui che rendápe
To be free from your chainsNde jaragui roñomi

And a woman with a strong heartHa kuña ipy'a hatãva
Love that’s unbreakableMborayhu oikuaase'ỹva
In my heart, she’s a fireChe korasõme oñotỹva
A love that’s like no otherKyseichagua mborayhu
To keep me warm in the nightOikohaguã che kutu
Always in my dreamsManterei hayhupape
Before she comes to meOu rangue che rendápe
And whispers in my earHa ipepópe che peju
