Y Busqué

And I Searched

Y Busqué

An old tree split in twoUn árbol viejo partido en dos
The doors to this inner journeyLas puertas a este viaje interior
The paths are snake-shapedLos senderos tienen forma de serpiente
They have curved stones and signs that lose youTienen piedras curvas y señales que te pierden

The first doubts were cried by the skyLas primeras dudas las lloraba el cielo
You must face it alone and not be afraidDebes enfrentarte sola y no tener miedo
I unloaded the excess weight, I stayedDescargué el exceso de peso, me quedé
With the soul in the bones, I filled the body with airCon el alma en los huesos, llené de aire el cuerpo

And I searched, and I searched, and I searchedY busqué, y busqué, y busqué
To the topHasta la cima
And I didn't find, and I didn't find, and I didn't findY no hallé, y no hallé, y no hallé
The meaning to my daysEl sentido a mis días
And I searched, and I searched, and I searchedY busqué, y busqué, y busqué
To the endHasta el fin
The answer was inside meLa respuesta estaba dentro de mí

OhAy
Oh, irai-rai-raiAy, irai-rai-rai

Full moon and full of cold waterLuna plena y llena de agua fría
Illuminates the wounded nightIlumina la noche herida
Like the bird, I show my wings attentivelyComo el pájaro, muestro atenta mis alas
I look from above, the one who risks is the one who winsMiro desde arriba, la que arriesga es la que gana

I always look outside for what is born insideSiempre busco fuera lo que nace dentro
May my happy days not depend on others' desiresQue mis días felices no dependan del deseo ajeno
Learn to listen to the silenceAprender a escuchar el silencio
Give movements to the wind, alone in front of this templeRegalar movimientos al viento, yo sola ante este templo

And I searched, and I searched, and I searchedY busqué, y busqué, y busqué
To the topHasta la cima
And I didn't find, and I didn't find, and I didn't findY no hallé, y no hallé, y no hallé
The meaning to my daysEl sentido a mis días
And I searched, and I searched, and I searchedY busqué, y busqué, y busqué
To the endHasta el fin
The answer was inside meLa respuesta estaba dentro de mí

And I searched, and I searched, and I searchedY busqué, y busqué, y busqué
To the topHasta la cima
And I didn't find, and I didn't find, and I didn't findY no hallé, y no hallé, y no hallé
The meaning to my daysEl sentido a mis días
And I searched, and I searched, and I searchedY busqué, y busqué, y busqué
To the endHasta el fin
The answer was inside meLa respuesta estaba dentro de mí
