River of Tears

Río de las Lágrimas

River of Tears

Enviados tan repentinamente
Sent away so suddenly,
Lejos de tu familia
Far away from your family,
Considerando, tan tristemente
Considering, so sadly,
Que podrían no haber sobrevivido
That they might have not survived.

Y la tormenta de agua frena contra ti
And the water storm brakes against you,
Nadie esperaba que aumentara tan alto
No one expected it to rise so high,
Era tan tranquilo y manso, incluso suave
It was so calm and tame, even gentle,
Pero hoy... se despertó
But today… it's woken up.

Río de lágrimas - el río de lágrimas
River of tears - the river of tears,
Ahogando las esperanzas del pueblo
Drowning the hopes of the people,
Río de lágrimas - el río de lágrimas
River of tears - the river of tears,
El que les robó la vida
The one that stole their lives away.

Sólo dolor y miseria
Just pain and misery
Es lo que dejaste sobre tu camino
Is what you left over your path,
Ruinas se mostrarán de nuevo
Ruins will show again
A medida que el agua desaparece
As the water goes away.

Tanto consternación y odio
So much dismay and hate,
Tanta muerte y tristeza creciendo
So much death and growing sadness,
Te llevaste sueños
You took away dreams
Que nunca volverás a traer
That you'll never bring back,
Río de las Lágrimas
River of Tears.

Temes, no confías
You fear, you don't trust,
Crees que nadie va a entender
You think that no one will understand,
No te rindas, pronto vendrá la ayuda
Don't give up; soon aid will come.

Han pasado varios días, la calma regresa
Several days have gone by, the calmness returns,
Toda una vida para construirlo, un instante para perderlo todo
A whole life to build it -an instant to lose it all,
Lamentos y oraciones, esperando algo del cielo
Laments and prayers, waiting for something from heaven
Eso nunca viene... que nunca viene
…That never comes …that never comes.

Sólo dolor y miseria
Just pain and misery
Es lo que dejaste sobre tu camino
Is what you left over your path,
Ruinas se mostrarán de nuevo
Ruins will show again
A medida que el agua desaparece
As the water goes away.

Tanto consternación y odio
So much dismay and hate,
Tanta muerte y tristeza creciendo
So much death and growing sadness,
Te llevaste sueños
You took away dreams
Que nunca volverás a traer
That you'll never bring back,
Río de las Lágrimas
River of Tears.

Te quitaste sueños que nunca traerás de vuelta
You took away dreams that you'll never bring back.
