Un Pedazo de Mi Sangre

A Piece of My Blood

Un Pedazo de Mi Sangre

A piece of my bloodUn pedazo de mi sangre
Rolls down towards the hualfinCae rodando hacia el hualfin
The carob trees whisperSusurran los algarrobos
The tender seed cries its end.La pepita tierna llora su fin.

How much desolate lonelinessCuanta soledad desierta
Struggles to creep into mePugna por meterse en mi
And in the eyes of the saintsY en los ojos de las santas
Sings a river of Calchaquí blood.Canta un rio de sangre calchaqui.

I dream of singing in peaceSueño con cantar en paz
But I can't take it anymorePero ya no puedo mas
I only think of breaking freeSolo pienso en liberar
Andalgala ..., andalgala ...Andalgala ..., andalgala ...

These stones belong to the windEstas piedras son del viento
These dead ones belong to the sunEstos muertos son del sol
Famatina and NonogastaFamatina y nonogasta
Storms gallop in my heart.Galopan tormentas en mi corazon.

Through the river go my eyesPor el rio van mis ojos
Towards time without knowingHacia el tiempo sin saber
That they will turn into dovesQue se volveran torcaza
Over the clear sky of dawn.Sobre el cielo claro del amanecer.

I dream of singing in peaceSueño con cantar en paz
But I can't take it anymorePero ya no puedo mas
I only think of breaking freeSolo pienso en liberar
Andalgala ..., andalgala ...Andalgala ..., andalgala ...
