El Aparecido
Inti-Illimani
Lyrics
Translation
Abre sendas por los cerros
He opens paths through the hills
Deja su huella en el viento
Leaves his mark on the wind
El águila le da el vuelo
The eagle gives him flight
Y lo cobija el silencio
And silence shelters him
Nunca se quejó del frío
He never complained about the cold
Nunca se quejó del sueño
He never complained about sleep
El pobre siente su paso
The poor one feels his steps
Y lo sigue como ciego
And follows him like a blind man
Correlé, correlé, correlá
Run, run, run
Por aquí, por allí, por allá
Here, there, everywhere
Correlé, correlé, correlá
Run, run, run
Correlé que te van a matar
Run because they're going to kill you
Correlé, correlé, correlá
Run, run, run
Su cabeza es rematada
His head is adorned
Por cuervos con garra de oro
By crows with golden claws
Como lo ha crucificado
As the powerful's fury
La furia del poderoso
Has crucified him
Hijo de la rebeldía
Son of rebellion
Lo siguen veinte más veinte
Twenty and twenty more follow him
Porque regala su vida
Because he gives away his life
Ellos le quieren dar muerte
They want to give him death
