Tan Lejos del Sol

So Far from the Sun

Tan Lejos del Sol

Crying Maea one afternoonLlora Maea una tarde
Without knowing whySin saber por qué
And not finding solaceY no encontrando consuelo
She called out to her motherA su madre llamó
Cuddling up, she snuggledCobijándose se acurrucó
Into those breasts that once quenched her thirstEn esos senos que un día aplacaron su sed

With a sob, she asked her queenCon un sollozo a su reina le preguntó
Mother, why are we so far from the sun?¿Madre por qué estamos tan lejos del sol?
I want to knowQuiero saber
I want to knowYo quiero saber
Life is like that, my dearLa vida es así, mi bien
The light that saw you born will fadeLa luz que te vio nacer se apagará
So they can sleep in peacePara que puedan dormir en paz
So they can dream, my dearPara que puedan soñar mi bien
That you return to the sunQue vuelves al sol
