I keep crossing rivers

Walking jungles, loving the sun

Every day I'm still getting thorns

Of the deep heart

At night I keep lighting dreams

To clean each memory with sacred smoke

When you write your name

In the white sand with blue background

When I look at the sky in the cruel form

You appear with a gray cloud

One afternoon a high hill

Look at the past, you will know that I have not forgotten you

I take you inside, to the root

And no matter how much it grows, you will be here

Although I hide behind the mountain

And find a field full of cane

There will be no way, my moon ray that you leave

OH-UH-OH-OH-OH

I think every moment survived when walking

And every second of uncertainty

Every moment of not knowing

They are the exact key to this fabric

I walk under the skin

So protect you

Here you are still inside

I take you inside, to the root

And no matter how much it grows, you will be here

Although I hide behind the mountain

And find a field full of cane

There will be no way, my moon ray

That you leave, that you go

I take you inside, to the root

And no matter how much it grows, you will be here

Although I hide behind the mountain

And find a field full of cane

There will be no way, my moon ray

That you leave, that you are going

I take you inside

To the root

I take you inside

To the root

Although I hide behind the mountain

And find a field full of cane

There will be no way, my moon ray

That you go

Although I hide behind the mountain

And find a field full of cane

There will be no way, my moon ray

That you go

Although I hide

After the mountain

There will be no way, my moon ray

That you go

Although I hide behind the mountain

And I find a field full of cane

To the root

Although I hide behind the mountain

And I find a field full of cane

To the root

raíz — root

Raíz literally translates to "root". It's a simple yet profound word that carries significant emotional weight in this song.

Natalia Lafourcade sings, "Yo te llevo dentro, hasta la raíz" (I carry you inside me, down to the root). This metaphor beautifully expresses a deep, fundamental connection that goes beyond the surface, implying that the person is an integral part of her very being, like the roots of a tree.

Natalia Lafourcade's "Hasta La Raíz" is a beautiful, deeply personal song about an unbreakable connection to someone, or something, that stays with you no matter what. She sings about continuing to cross rivers and walk through jungles, always loving the sun and pulling thorns from her heart, even as she lights dreams in the night to cleanse memories with sacred smoke. It's a journey of persistence and healing, where every step and every moment of not knowing are essential parts of the fabric she carries within her.

What I love most is how she describes this connection: "Yo te llevo dentro, hasta la raíz" [I carry you inside me, to the root]. It's a powerful image of something so deeply ingrained it's part of her very being. Even if she hides behind a mountain or finds a field of sugarcane, there's no way this person, her "rayo de luna" [moonbeam], will ever leave. It's a comforting and resolute declaration that some bonds are simply permanent.
