These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
¿Por qué la tierra es mi casa?
Why is the earth my home?
¿Por qué la noche es oscura?
Why is the night dark?
¿Por qué la luna es blancura
why is the moon white
Que engorda como adelgaza?
What gains weight how does it lose weight?
¿Por qué una estrella se enlaza
Why a star is linked
Con otra, como un dibujo?
With another, like a drawing?
Y ¿por qué el escaramujo
And why the rose hip
Es de la rosa y el mar?
Is it from the rose and the sea?
Yo vivo de preguntar
I live to ask
Saber no puede ser lujo
Knowing cannot be luxury
El agua hirviente en puchero
boiling water in pot
Suelta un ánima que sube
Release a soul that rises
A disolverse en la nube
To dissolve in the cloud
Que luego será aguacero
That later it will be a downpour
Niño soy tan preguntero
Boy I'm so questioning
Tan comilón del acervo
So eater of the heritage
Que marchito si le pierdo
How withered if I lose him
Una contesta a mi pecho
An answer to my chest
Si saber no es un derecho
If knowing is not a right
Seguro será un izquierdo
I'm sure it will be a left
Yo vine para preguntar
I came to ask
Flor y reflujo
flower and ebb
Soy de la rosa y de la mar
I am from the rose and the sea
Como el escaramujo
like the rose hip
Soy aria, endecha, tonada
I am Aryan, lay, tune
Soy Mahoma, soy Lao-Tsé
I am Muhammad, I am Lao-tzu
Soy Jesucristo y Yahvéh
I am Jesus Christ and Yahweh
Soy la serpiente emplumada
I am the feathered serpent
Soy la pupila asombrada
I am the amazed pupil
Que descubre como apunta
that discovers how it aims
Soy todo lo que se junta
I am everything that comes together
Para vivir y soñar
To live and dream
Soy el destino del mar
I am the fate of the sea
Soy un niño que pregunta
I am a child who asks
Yo vine para preguntar
I came to ask
Flor y reflujo
flower and ebb
Soy de la rosa y de la mar
I am from the rose and the sea
Como el escaramujo
like the rose hip
