Cumbiana Carlos Vives (English Translation) Lyrics

I am eating red berries from your garden
I am watching crystal zeppelins
The words I will say are already flying
I love you, I will say I love you
I will say I wait for you, and what will you say?

I am feeling the signals of some port
I am hearing your songs in a bar
I am drinking the words I will say
I love you, I will say I love you
I will say I wait for you, and what will you say?

And with you, life has to be real
It has to feel nice to be the hero in your story
And whisper in your ear when I find you again
Look at me, love me, sit with me and tell me
Your sorrows, Cumbiana, your sublime dreams, tell me

The currants from your story are already ripe
All the sea is full of snook
I am already fishing the words I will say
I love you, I will say I love you
I will say I wait for you, and what will you say?

And with you, life has to be real
It has to feel nice to be the hero in your story
And whisper in your ear when I find you again
Look at me, love me, sit with me and tell me
Your sorrows, Cumbiana, your sublime dreams, tell me

And it will be
If you want it and dream it
Oh, uoh, uoh, uoh, ooh

Tell me if forgetfulness stole your mornings
Tell me if you cried with tenderness and rage
Tell me if you want, I will move the mountain
And together we heal the pain of the homeland

In a little house with a flag
So you love me as I love my land
A forest, a dog, a wooden rocker
A pink room where a star sleeps

And with you, life has to be real
It has to feel nice to be the hero in your story
And whisper in your ear when I find you again
Look at me, love me, sit with me and tell me
Your sorrows, Cumbiana, your sublime dreams, tell me

I will stay with you
The time of greed and fear will pass
The water will return
And this will be our land
