With the Root of Desire

Enrique Morente

Con La Raiz Del Querer

Yo no me he muerto de pena
Porque no supe senti
A mi corto entendimiento
Le agradesco el vivir

Pañuelo le eché a la cara
Y pa que no comiera la tierra
Que la boquita que yo besara

Yo no quiero más comer
Porque me estoy manteniendo
Con la raiz del querer
Compañera de mi alma
Con la raiz del querer

With the Root of Desire

I haven't died from sorrow
Because I didn't know how to feel
To my limited understanding
I’m grateful for living

I threw a handkerchief in her face
So she wouldn't eat the dirt
From the little mouth that I kissed

I don't want to eat anymore
Because I'm getting by
With the root of desire
Partner of my soul
With the root of desire
