These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Anoche soñé que mi padre estaba vivo
Last night I dreamed that my father was alive
Y pescábamos juntos en el río
And we fished together in the river
Como aquella vez a mediados de verano
Like that time in mid-summer
Que de niños nos bañamos en el río
That as children we bathe in the river
El que fue testigo generación tras generación
The one who witnessed generation after generation
No verá a mis hijos en el río
You won't see my kids in the river
Las libélulas volaron al exilio en el río
Dragonflies flew into exile on the river
De su cauce ha quedado solo un hilo
Only one thread has remained of its course
Y ese hilo grita asesinos
And that thread screams killers.
Anoche soñé que nadando río abajo
Last night I dreamed that swimming down the river
Yo llegaba hasta el mar
I reached the sea
Te vi pasar sonriendo en una orilla
I saw you pass smiling on a shore
Te llamaba pero no me oías
I called you but you couldn't hear me
El que fue testigo generación tras generación
The one who witnessed generation after generation
Que se fue contigo, en el río
That he went with you, in the river
Las libélulas volaron al exilio, en el río
Dragonflies flew into exile, in the river
De su cauce solo ha quedado solo un hilo
Only one thread has remained of its course
Y ese hilo grita asesinos
And that thread screams killers.
Cuando el sol se hunde y cede el cielo al crepúsculo
When the sun sinks and the sky gives way to twilight
El atardecer cede el río a las luciérnagas
The sunset yields the river to fireflies
Miles de brillantes ojos lo observan todo
Thousands of bright eyes watch it all
Y ahora estás tan sólo, ¿dónde han ido?
And now you're alone, where have they gone?
Te han dejado abandonado y malherido
You have been left abandoned and badly wounded
No quiero mirar, me avergüenzo de lo que han hecho contigo
I don't want to look, I'm ashamed of what they've done to you.
En el río
On the river
Las libélulas volaron al exilio
Dragonflies flew into exile
Hoy el río grita asesinos, asesinos
Today the river screams murderers, murderers
