Los Ríos Lyrics in English La Muchacha
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Los Ríos by La Muchacha from Spanish to English.
Déjeme quieto el río porque o si no no respondo
Leave the river still for me because or else I won't respond
deje sana la loma porque se le va bien hondo el machetazo
leave the hill healthy because the machete blow goes deep
Trazó el pedazo e tierra, fracturó el barranco
He traced the piece of land, fractured the ravine
y me dejó la herida abierta
and he left the wound open
¡Ay! Usted no es ningún santo calavera
Oh! You are no skull saint
Yo no hablo de charcos, no hablo de goteas medidas
I don't talk about puddles, I don't talk about measured drips
hablo del caudal del río, de las piedras y las despedidas
I talk about the flow of the river, the stones and the goodbyes
y hablo del agua fría, de la arena oscura
and I talk about the cold water, the dark sand
debajo de un chorro viejo
under an old jet
donde me dejaban bañarme y nadie me preguntaba
where they let me bathe and no one asked me
si tenía permiso pa tocar el agua
If I had permission to touch the water
y nadie me preguntaba si tenía autorización, ¡ay!
and no one asked me if I had authorization, alas!
pa tocar el agua, pa tocar el agua que me tomo yo
to touch the water, to touch the water that I drink
Déjeme quieto el río porque o si no no respondo
Leave the river still for me because or else I won't respond
deje sana la loma porque se le va bien hondo el machetazo
leave the hill healthy because the machete blow goes deep
Trazó el pedazo e tierra, fracturó el barranco
He traced the piece of land, fractured the ravine
y me dejó la herida abierta
and he left the wound open
¡Ay! Usted no es ningún santo calavera
Oh! You are no skull saint
