Del interior me fui alejando
From the inside I was moving away
con mi sombrerito Vueltiao
with my little Vueltiao hat
y en el camino nos fueron parando
and on the way they stopped us
manos arriba, sueños abajo
hands up, dreams down
Que nadie hable, nadie se mueva
Let no one speak, no one move
hombres, mujeres separados
men, women separated
Tranquilo Alejo no te preocupes
Don't worry Alejo, don't worry.
quedate cerca a mi lado
stay close by my side
tranquilo Alejo no te preocupes
calm down Alejo don't worry
que nada nos ha pasado
that nothing has happened to us
Devuélveme el alma, devuélveme el alma
Give me back my soul, give me back my soul
que todos los días sean buenos días
May every day be good days
no quiero perder las esperanzas
I don't want to lose hope
Y tócame un son, un son de gaitas
And play me a sound, a sound of bagpipes
tocame la piel, dame la calma
touch my skin, give me calm
no quiero perder tu amor, ni tus ganas
I don't want to lose your love, nor your desire
Llevaba versos en la mochila
She carried verses in her backpack
canciones nuevas que componía
new songs that she composed
No quiera yo perder la fe
I don't want to lose faith
en seguir cantando para la gente mía
to continue singing for my people
Por los senderos que recorrieron
Along the paths they traveled
tantos amores, compas y amigos
so many loves, comrades and friends
Un siglo viejo y otro que llega
An old century and another that is coming
y yo aquí asustado por la carretera
and I'm here scared by the road
Un siglo viejo y otro que llega
An old century and another that is coming
buscando luces con los que sueñan
looking for lights of those who dream
Devuélveme el alma
Give me back my soul
San Pelayo, San Pelayo
San Pelayo, San Pelayo
rezo por la libertad
I pray for freedom
que la fiesta y la noche
that the party and the night
me devuelvan la tranquilidad
give me peace of mind
San Pelayo, San Pelayo
San Pelayo, San Pelayo
canto y bailo sin parar
I sing and dance non-stop
que la alegría embriague mi vida
May joy intoxicate my life
hasta mañana te voy a amar
until tomorrow I will love you
Ya me fui
Already left
