River of Tears
Sent away so suddenly,
Far away from your family,
Considering, so sadly,
That they might have not survived.
And the water storm brakes against you,
No one expected it to rise so high,
It was so calm and tame, even gentle,
But today… it's woken up.
River of tears - the river of tears,
Drowning the hopes of the people,
River of tears - the river of tears,
The one that stole their lives away.
Just pain and misery
Is what you left over your path,
Ruins will show again
As the water goes away.
So much dismay and hate,
So much death and growing sadness,
You took away dreams
That you'll never bring back,
River of Tears.
You fear, you don't trust,
You think that no one will understand,
Don't give up; soon aid will come.
Several days have gone by, the calmness returns,
A whole life to build it -an instant to lose it all,
Laments and prayers, waiting for something from heaven
…That never comes …that never comes.
Just pain and misery
Is what you left over your path,
Ruins will show again
As the water goes away.
So much dismay and hate,
So much death and growing sadness,
You took away dreams
That you'll never bring back,
River of Tears.
You took away dreams that you'll never bring back.
Río de las Lágrimas
Enviados tan repentinamente
Lejos de tu familia
Considerando, tan tristemente
Que podrían no haber sobrevivido
Y la tormenta de agua frena contra ti
Nadie esperaba que aumentara tan alto
Era tan tranquilo y manso, incluso suave
Pero hoy... se despertó
Río de lágrimas - el río de lágrimas
Ahogando las esperanzas del pueblo
Río de lágrimas - el río de lágrimas
El que les robó la vida
Sólo dolor y miseria
Es lo que dejaste sobre tu camino
Ruinas se mostrarán de nuevo
A medida que el agua desaparece
Tanto consternación y odio
Tanta muerte y tristeza creciendo
Te llevaste sueños
Que nunca volverás a traer
Río de las Lágrimas
Temes, no confías
Crees que nadie va a entender
No te rindas, pronto vendrá la ayuda
Han pasado varios días, la calma regresa
Toda una vida para construirlo, un instante para perderlo todo
Lamentos y oraciones, esperando algo del cielo
Eso nunca viene... que nunca viene
Sólo dolor y miseria
Es lo que dejaste sobre tu camino
Ruinas se mostrarán de nuevo
A medida que el agua desaparece
Tanto consternación y odio
Tanta muerte y tristeza creciendo
Te llevaste sueños
Que nunca volverás a traer
Río de las Lágrimas
Te quitaste sueños que nunca traerás de vuelta
