Translation

quiero volver aquel tiempo como quien mira hacia adentro

I want to return to that time like someone looking inward

aquel tiempo de mi infancia de soles y de recuerdos

That time of my childhood, of suns and memories

achalay que linda vida volver a andar las distancias

Achalay, what a beautiful life to return to walk the distances

caminar las calles viejas, sentir sus nuevas fragancias

Walk the old streets, feel their new fragrances


el viejo tren de mi pueblo es la esperanza que andaba

The old train of my town is the hope that used to roam


yo era humito de mi gente , humito que se quemaba

I was the smoke of my people, smoke that was burning

como brazita en el fuego , como cigarrito en charla

Like a little coal in the fire, like a little cigarette in conversation

y de soles y de lunas solito me fui criando

And with suns and moons, I grew up alone

entre medio los cantores, florecido dentro el alma

Among the singers, flourishing within the soul

primavera que llegaban en capullos y flores blancas

Spring that arrived in buds and white flowers


soy el fruto de la vida de dos ramas que se unieron

I am the fruit of life from two branches that joined

de dos ramas que ala tierra le dieron sus frutos nuevos

From two branches that gave their new fruits to the earth


y en el beso de mi madre subi a cabalgar mi sueño

And in my mother's kiss, I climbed to ride my dream

en un mundo de ilusiones de musica y canto lleno

In a world of illusions, full of music and song

quise volverme en la noche soy tucu tucu y cigarra

I wanted to become in the night, I am tucu tucu and cicada


un corazon de vidala quise ser parche de caja

A heart of vidala, I wanted to be a drumhead patch

para que alegre mis penas en dias o noches largas

So that, happily, my sorrows in long days or nights

y de soles y de lunas solito me fui criando

And with suns and moons, I grew up alone


santiago vuelvo a tu lado, quiero secar hoy mi llanto

Santiago, I return to your side, I want to dry my tears today

dame la magia y la suerte, quiero ser de nuevo chango.

Give me the magic and the luck, I want to be a chango again
