Lyrics
Translation
Es bella, más bella, muy bella
It's beautiful, more beautiful, very beautiful
Es hoy, es mañana, es ayer
It's today, it's tomorrow, it's yesterday
Es roca y es mirlo, es estrella
It's rock and it's blackbird, it's a star
Es irse, quedarse, volver
It's leaving, staying, returning
Es hierba y es rama, da sombra
It's grass and it's branch, giving shade
Es agua que calma la sed
It's water that quenches thirst
Lejana, es mía, me nombra
Distant, it's mine, it names me
Me espera, me sabe, me ve
It waits for me, knows me, sees me
Estalla, se esconde, se aleja
It bursts, hides, moves away
De ser o no ser, mf! Ella es
Of to be or not to be, darn it! She is
Y es tanto, que siempre regresa
And it's so much that it always returns
Y el antes, se vuelve después
And the before becomes after
Me conoció, cuando tuvo sospechas de que vendría
It knew me when it suspected I would come
Y ella sabía que llegaría, ¡ah si sabía!
And she knew that I would come, oh, she knew!
Y luego tiempo, corrieron los años y me fui un día
And then time, the years passed, and I left one day
Y ella sabía que volvería ¡ah si sabía!
And she knew that I would return, oh, she knew!
Mi madre
My mother
Es bella, más bella, muy bella
It's beautiful, more beautiful, very beautiful
Es hoy, es mañana, es ayer
It's today, it's tomorrow, it's yesterday
Es roca y es mirlo, es estrella
It's rock and it's blackbird, it's a star
Es siempre y es más
It's always and it's more
Es mujer
It's a woman
