Madre Tierra

Mother Earth

Madre Tierra

Someone gave you your own lifeAlguien te dio tu propia vida
fruit of a painful love.fruto de un amor doloroso.
Someone gave you your own nameAlguien te dio tu propio nombre
and marked your path.y marcó tu paso.
They gave you the white milk of the moonTe dio la leche blanca de la luna
drawn from a satin nipple.sacada de un pezón de raso.

You...and who are youTú...y quién eres tú
if Mother Earth didn't exist?si no existiera Madre Tierra
You...who are you.Tú...quién eres tú.

Someone traced your pathAlguien trazó tu camino
within the jungle,dentro de la selva,
gave you everything without asking for anything in return.todo te lo dio sin nada a cambio.
Someone kissed your forehead with a fresh mouthAlguien besó tu frente con la boca fresca
and every night placed an angel in your room.y cada noche puso un ángel en tu cuarto.

You...and who are youTú...y quién eres tú
if Mother Earth didn't exist?si no existiera Madre Tierra
You...and who are you.Tú...y quién eres tú.

Mother Earth, more lie than truthMadre Tierra, más mentira que verdad
it's just an idea in my mindsolamente es una idea de mi mente
a memory to forget.un recuerdo para olvidar.
