La Cometierra Lyrics in English Natalia Lafourcade
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Cometierra by Natalia Lafourcade from Spanish to English.
Me llaman
They call me
La Cometierra
The Earth Eater
Debajo de la suela de los caminantes
Beneath the soles of walkers
Se tejen las historias que se abandonaron
The stories that were abandoned are woven
Son el polvo, son la huella errante
They are the dust, they are the wandering footprint
El alma de la gente en su dolor migrante
The soul of the people in their migrant pain
Me siento hija de la noche, hija de la calle
I feel like a daughter of the night, a daughter of the street
Soy testigo de las injusticias
I am a witness to injustices
Me arrebataron a mi madre
They took my mother from me
Pero a cambio la tierra me ha llenado de su vida
But in return, the earth has filled me with her life
Voy, voy, avanzando voy sin miedo
I go, I go, advancing I go without fear
La fuerza me la da la familia que yo encuentro
The strength I get from the family I find
Busco la verdad oculta en barrios bajos
I seek the truth hidden in slums
Soy la esperanza de los mundos olvidados
I am the hope of forgotten worlds
Llevo una misiĆ³n, una bandera en alto
I carry a mission, a flag held high
Honro la vida de los que han marchado
I honor the lives of those who have marched
Celebro de la dicha de seguir andando
I celebrate the joy of continuing to walk
Y aunque duele adentro seguirƩ buscando
And although it hurts inside, I will continue searching
Me llaman La Cometierra
They call me The Earth Eater
La niƱa de la ciudad
The city girl
Que come de las raĆces
Who eats from the roots
Para salirte a buscar
To go out and look for you
Me llaman La Cometierra
They call me The Earth Eater
La niƱa de la ciudad
The city girl
Que come de las raĆces
Who eats from the roots
Para salirte a buscar

Aunque duele adentro, seguirƩ buscando
Though it hurts inside, I'll keep searching
Aunque duele adentro, seguirƩ buscando
Though it hurts inside, I'll keep searching
Aunque duele adentro, seguirƩ buscando
Though it hurts inside, I'll keep searching
Busco respuestas en ese polvo oscuro
I look for answers in that dark dust
Dentro de mi boca es como un conjuro
Inside my mouth it's like a spell
Es la madre tierra la que me ha enseƱado
It's Mother Earth who has taught me
A encender el corazĆ³n que es lo que estĆ” faltando
To ignite the heart, which is what's missing
CuƔntos habitantes de ciudades llenas
How many inhabitants of crowded cities
Con los sueƱos rotos y la vida aƱeja
With broken dreams and a withered life
Hoy quiero creer que la esperanza vive
Today I want to believe that hope lives
Siembra la semilla y cuida tus raĆces
Sow the seed and nurture your roots
Siembra la semilla y cuida tus raĆces
