Mercedes Sosa - Como la Cigarra
Tantas veces me mataron,
tantas veces me mor?,
sin embargo estoy aqu?
resucitando.
Gracias doy a la desgracia
y a la mano con pu?al,
porque me mat? tan mal,
y segu? cantando.
Cantando al sol, Como La Cigarra,
despu?s de un a?o
bajo la tierra,
igual que sobreviviente
que vuelve de la guerra.
Tantas veces me borraron,
tantas desaparec?,
a mi propio entierro fui,
solo y llorando.
Hice un nudo del pa?uelo,
pero me olvid? despu?s
que no era la ?nica vez
y segu? cantando.Mercedes Sosa - Como la Cigarra - http://motolyrics.com/mercedes-sosa/como-la-cigarra-lyrics-english-translation.html
Cantando al sol,
Como La Cigarra,
despu?s de un a?o
bajo la tierra,
igual que sobreviviente
que vuelve de la guerra.
Tantas veces te mataron,
tantas resucitar?s
cu?ntas noches pasar?s
desesperando.
Y a la hora del naufragio
y a la de la oscuridad
alguien te rescatar?,
para ir cantando.
Cantando al sol,
Como La Cigarra,
despu?s de un a?o
bajo la tierra,
igual que sobreviviente
que vuelve de la guerra.
Mercedes Sosa - Like a Cicada (English translation)
So many times I was killed
many times I died
none the less I'm still here
coming back to life.
I'm gratefull to adversity
and the hand holding the knife
for it did a bad job at killing me
And I carried on singing.
Singing to the sun
Like the cicada does
after a year under the ground
like a survivor
who is coming back from war
So many times I was vanished
Many times I dissapeared
I attended my own funeral
alone and crying.
I made a knot with the handkerchief*
and then I forgot
It was not the first time
and I carried on singing
Singing to the sunMercedes Sosa - Como la Cigarra - http://motolyrics.com/mercedes-sosa/como-la-cigarra-lyrics-english-translation.html
Like the cicada does
after a year under the ground
like a survivor
who is coming back from war
So many times you were killed
many times you will come back to life
How many nights you will spend
in desperation
and when you start drowning
and darkness comes
somebody will rescue you
and carry on singing
Singing to the sun
Like the cicada does
after a year under the ground
like a survivor
who is coming back from war
