Puente Del Mundo Lyrics in English Ruben Blades
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Puente Del Mundo by Ruben Blades from Spanish to English.
Verde cinta de tierra
Green ribbon of land
Que estando ausente llevo por dentro
That I carry inside while absent
Olas de Norte y Sur se unen en tu centro
Waves from the North and South unite in your center
Roja, azul, blanca aurora
Red, blue, white dawn
Nació del tajo de una sandía
Born from the cut of a watermelon
Un alma de inmigrante fue tu semilla
An immigrant's soul was your seed
Y la sangre del indio formó tu orilla
And the blood of the indigenous formed your shore
¡Piedra de cielo! ¡Agua de luna!
Stone from the sky! Water from the moon!
Ngobe Bugle, Emberá, Chocó, blanco, negro y Kuna
Ngobe Bugle, Emberá, Chocó, white, black, and Kuna
Perfiles de una esperanza que no se esfuma
Profiles of a hope that doesn't fade away
Un paraíso compraron cuentas de vidrio
A paradise was bought with glass beads
Telas y espejos
Fabrics and mirrors
Fuente de juventud para un viejo imperio
Fountain of youth for an old empire
La luz dentro de tu entraña se transformó
The light within your womb transformed
En camino de acero
Into a path of steel
Y nuestra gente en sombras de la que fueron
And our people became shadows of what they were
¿Cuándo seremos manos, en vez de dedos?
When will we be hands, instead of fingers?
Con claro oscuro, con socabón, ¡con fiesta y duelo!
With light and darkness, with tunnels, with celebration and mourning!
Pedazos de corazón formaron tu suelo
Pieces of heart formed your ground
Siempre estaremos aquí, aunque estemos lejos
We will always be here, even if we are far away
En el puente del Mundo
On the bridge of the World
Abiá Yala bin sógue
Abiá Yala bin sógue
