The Captive

Emiliano R. Fernandez

La Cautiva

Oiméne oiko pe jaíre
Peteĩ guyra oñemíva
Che ambohéra la cautiva
Oikore iñapytĩmby
Che py'áre ojatapy
Akãnundúicha iñarõva
Mborayhu chupe arekóva
Arema iñongatupy

Che rendúna la cautiva
Che renoi taha nde ypype
Ani umi ka'aguyre
Ne año reiko resufrí
Che ko ikatúnte avei
Roipe'a mba'e mbyasygui
Ha ajoravo nde kupygui
Oikova ne ñapytĩ

Ne rendaĝua arekopama
Javeve katu guyráicha
Jahupytyne oimeháicha
Che rekoha mombyry
Anínteke rembyasy
Nde rapykuere opytava
Ndenteko che ãnga jara
Reikova iñapytĩmby

Nderehénte, nderehénte
Ake ha apáyvo ha'éva
Oiméne piko oikoveva
Che korasõ jarami
Ndente ne añagui rei
Reiko nde jaula ruguape
Ne resẽigui che rendápe
Nde jaragui roñomi

Ha kuña ipy'a hatãva
Mborayhu oikuaase'ỹva
Che korasõme oñotỹva
Kyseichagua mborayhu
Oikohaguã che kutu
Manterei hayhupape
Ou rangue che rendápe
Ha ipepópe che peju

The Captive

Oh, I hear you over there
A bird that's been caught
I call you the captive
Living in my heart
I feel you in my soul
Like a whisper in the night
Love for you that I hold
Is like a treasure in my chest

I see you, the captive
I call you to come close
Don't hide in the shadows
Your years have been tough
I can only hope too
To break free from this pain
And I long for your touch
That lingers in my mind

In your presence, I feel alive
Always like a bird in flight
We'll reach wherever we can
My heart is far away
Don't ever feel sad
Your spirit will remain
You won't escape my gaze
You live in my heart

Not without you, not without you
I rise and fall like a wave
Is there life in this heart?
My heart beats for you
Not from your dark past
You live in your cage
From your escape to my sight
We’ll break free together

And a woman with a strong heart
Love that knows no bounds
In my heart, it grows
Like a wild kind of love
To reach my soul
I’ll always cherish you
Before you come to me
And in my dreams, I’ll find you
