Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Rio by Café Tacvba from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Siempre me pasa igual cuando me levanto
It always happens to me the same when I get up
Esperando a que no esté por ahí
Waiting until I'm not around
Y me miro al espejo y ahí estoy yo
And I look in the mirror and there I am.
Me encontré con un hombre me puse a hablar
I met a man I started talking
Le vendí mi pedazo de tierra lunar
I sold him my piece of lunar land
Y llovía del cielo sobre arboles y mares
And it rained from the sky on trees and seas
Y yo vi a las plantas crecer como animales
And I saw plants grow like animals.
Veintiocho días navegue por la orilla de un río
Twenty-eight days sail along a riverbank
Todas las horas del día sin descansar
All hours of the day without rest
Cruce el desierto, la selva, el bosque de montaña
Cross the desert, the jungle, the mountain forest
Pero el cansado río me dijo basta ya
But the tired river told me enough is enough.
Y llovía del cielo sobre arboles y mares
And it rained from the sky on trees and seas
Y yo vi a las plantas crecer como animales
And I saw plants grow like animals.
Y llovía del cielo sobre arboles y mares
And it rained from the sky on trees and seas
Y yo vi a las plantas crecer como animales
And I saw plants grow like animals.
Porqué siempre llueve cuando me levanto?
Why does it always rain when I get up?
