Translation

Llora sin saber el niño

The child cries without knowing

Llora sin saber que canta

Cries without knowing that he sings

Llora cantando las penas

Cries singing the sorrows

Que trae consigo en su alma

That he carries within his soul


Dueño de los corazones

Owner of the hearts

Desde sus antepasados

Since his ancestors

Defiende sus tradiciones

Defends his traditions

Llevando al frente el legado

Carrying forward the legacy


Resiste el niño sentado

The child resists while seated

Sin más armas en la mano

With no weapons in his hand

Que los recuerdos cantados

Only the sung memories

Esos no son olvidados

Those are not forgotten


Resiste el niño sentado

The child resists while seated

Cada noche de tormenta

Every stormy night

Siempre aferrado a los suyos

Always clinging to his own

Como raíz en su tierra

Like roots in his land


Canta para volver

Sings to return

Por un instante retroceder

For a moment to go back

Sentir el humo, el camino

Feel the smoke, the path

Ese olor de madre, tierra mojada

That smell of mother, wet earth

Y aire en la piel

And air on the skin
