Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Río by Silvio Rodriguez from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Hoy sé que no hay nada imposible
Today I know that nothing is impossible
Anoche supe la verdad
I learned the truth last night
Creí a mi alma inservible
I thought my soul useless
Pero era cansancio vulgar, nada más
But it was vulgar fatigue, nothing more
Tú eres un don de la brisa
you are a gift of the breeze
Un ser de la resurrección
A being of the resurrection
Un pájaro con una risa
A bird with a laugh
Capaz de arrastrar a la noche hasta el sol
Able to drag the night to the sun
Río, río, río
River, river, river
Como un animal
Like an animal
Que ha sido puesto en libertad
that has been set free
Me dejo ir en mano alegre, voy previendo
I let myself go in a happy hand, I anticipate
Porque mañana, a lo mejor, hay un entierro
Because tomorrow, maybe, there's a funeral
Y una mordida de pantera en lo más mío
And a panther bite in my heart
Y no es un desafío
And it's not a challenge
A la vida del sueño
To the life of the dream
Es que vivo camino al cementerio
It's that I live on the way to the cemetery
