Deja la Vida Volar
Victor Jara
Lyrics
Translation
En tu cuerpo flor de fuego tienes paloma
In your body, flower of fire, you have a dove
Un temblor de primaveras, palomitay
A tremor of springs, little dove
Un volcán corre en tus venas
A volcano runs in your veins
Y mi sangre como brasa tienes paloma
And my blood, like embers, you have, dove
En tu cuerpo quiero hundirme palomitay
In your body, I want to immerse myself, little dove
Hasta el fondo de tu sangre
To the depths of your blood
El sol morirá, morirá
The sun will die, will die
La noche vendrá, vendrá
The night will come, will come
Envuélvete en mi cariño
Wrap yourself in my love
Deja la vida volar
Let life fly away
Tu boca junto a mi boca
Your mouth next to my mouth
Paloma, palomitay
Dove, little dove
Ay palomay, ay palomay
Oh, little dove, oh, little dove
En tu cuerpo flor de fuego tienes paloma
In your body, flower of fire, you have a dove
Una llamarad mía, palomitay
A flare of mine, little dove
Que ha calmado mil heridas
That has healed a thousand wounds
Ahora volemos libres, tierna paloma
Now let's fly free, tender dove
No pierdas las esperanzas palomitay
Do not lose hope, little dove
La flor crece con el agua
The flower grows with water
El sol volverá, volverá
The sun will return, will return
La noche se irá, se irá
The night will go away, will go away
Envuélvete en mi cariño
Wrap yourself in my love
Deja la vida volar
Let life fly away
Tu boca junto a mi boca
Your mouth next to my mouth
Paloma, palomitay
Dove, little dove
Ay palomay, ay palomay
Oh, little dove, oh, little dove
