Mommy

Mamita

The Sun rises over the frozen fieldEl Sol se levanta en el campo helado
With your skirt worn through the yearsCon tu pollera usada por los años
That the air of the wind from the high plateauY el baile del viento del altiplano
Little sheep found in the mountainsArrean ovejitas a la cordillera

To fight against this hard lifePara luchar contra esta vida dura
Only the lovely coca leaf can help youSolo te ayuda la linda hoja de coca
Sweetie, your dark circlesMamita linda tus ojeras
They are the pride of PachamamaSon el orgullo de la Pachamama

Mommy, are you praying for the earth?Mamita estás rezando por la tierra
Even the Moon is left speechlessHasta la Luna se queda muda
He doesn't even mention the rain and the SunNi habla de la lluvia y el Sol
Where have your lost dreams gone?¿Dónde estarán tus sueños perdidos?

Where have your lost dreams gone?¿Dónde estarán tus sueños perdidos?

A callus has formed on the sole of the footUna suela de callo se ha formado
Dust from the frost in your landEn tus pies rajados por la helada
Your belly and your breasts are wrinkledTu vientre, tus senos son arrugados
Like the land that has yielded so much fruitComo la tierra que ha dado tanto fruto

Despite this life that is so hardA pesar de esta vida que es tan dura
Your body glows with this loveTu cuerpo resplandece de este amor
That only mothers haveQue solamente las madres tienen
My sweet mommy, I love and adore youMamita linda te amo y adoro

You leave dancing in your HighlandsTe vas bailando en tu altiplano
Like a star wara waritaComo una estrella wara warita
The Moon reflects your black braidsLa Luna refleja tus trenzas negras
Woven with silver threadsTejidas con hilos de plata
