Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pájaros by Café Tacvba from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Un pájaro en el cielo atravesó
A bird in the sky pierced
Estaba yo dormido y a mi cuerpo despertó
I was asleep and my body woke up
Como una luz fugaz se deslizo
Like a fleeting light slipped
Alcanzo las estrellas y entre ellas se perdió
He reached the stars and among them he lost
De pronto casi todo entendí
Suddenly almost everything I understood
Así que de repente supe a que vengo aquí
So suddenly I knew I'm coming here
Algunos que se han marchado ya
Some who have already left
Algunos que ya vienen y otros seguimos acá
Some who are already coming and others are still here
La tierra que me vio nacer
The land where I was born
El cielo me hará perecer
Heaven will make me perish
Tus manos me hicieron crecer
Your hands made me grow
Mis hijos me harán renacer
My children will make me reborn
Yo se que tal vez no regresaras
I know you might not come back
Pero aquí con nosotros por siempre estarás
But here with us you will forever be
Del cielo al suelo llega tu raíz
From heaven to the ground comes your root
Los que vienen llegando ya me hacen muy feliz
Those who are arriving already make me very happy
Mis manos queriendo rezar
My hands wanting to pray
Mis ojos queriendo llorar
My eyes wanting to cry
Mis labios queriendo reír
My lips wanting to laugh
Escucho la tierra vivir
I hear the earth live
