Kamanchaca

Since I was a child, mother, you taught me and I listenedDesde niño madre me ensañaste y escuche
From a strange blue planetDe extraño planeta azul
A hundred light years awayDistante cien años luz
With birds migrating southCon aves que emigran hacia el sur

Since I was a child, mother, you taught me to discoverDesde niño madre me enseñaste a descubrir
In the wind, musicEn el viento musica
Music of silenceDel silencio musica
Music is the miracle of livingMusica es milagro de vivir

And you taught meY me enseñaste
So differentlyTan diferente
Not to cryA no llorar
And to be braveY ser valiente

The jungle sings to me in another natural languageMe canta la selva otro lenguaje natural
With a thousand crystal timesCon mil veces de cristal
Prisoner of the salty seaPrisionero mar de sal
In the Andes, God made my homeEn los andes dios hizo mi hogar

Since I was a child, mother, you taught me to knowDesde niño madre me enseñaste a conocer
That love can be seenQue le amor se puede ver
In the red sunsetEn el rojo atardecer
To engender life and growEngendrar la vida y crecer

And they took meY me tomaron
I am lostEstoy pèrdido
The kamanchacaEl kamanchaca
I want to get outQuiero salir

The kamanchacaEl kamanchaca
I want to get outQuiero salir
