Un pájaro en el cielo atravesó,
A bird flew across the sky,
Estaba yo dormido, ya mi cuerpo despertó,
I was asleep, but my body awoke,
Como una luz fugaz se deslizó,
Like a shooting light, it glided,
Alcanzo las estrellas y entre ellas se perdió.
It reached the stars and got lost among them.
De pronto casi todo entendí,
Suddenly, I understood almost everything,
Así de repente supe a qué vengo aquí,
Just like that, I knew why I'm here,
Algunos que se han marchado ya,
Some have already left,
Algunos que ya vienen y otros seguimos acá.
Some are coming while others remain here.
La tierra que me vio nacer,
The land that saw me born,
El cielo me hará perecer,
The sky will make me perish,
Tus manos me hicieron crecer,
Your hands made me grow,
Mis hijos me harán renacer.
My children will make me reborn.
Yo se que tal vez no regresaras,
I know that perhaps you won't return,
Pero aquí con nosotros por siempre estarás,
But here with us, you'll always be,
Del cielo al suelo llega tu raíz,
From heaven to earth, your roots come down,
Los que vienen llegando ya me hacen muy feliz.
Those who are arriving already make me very happy.
Mis manos queriendo rezar,
My hands wanting to pray,
Mis ojos queriendo llorar,
My eyes wanting to cry,
Mis labios queriendo reír,
My lips wanting to laugh,
Escucho la tierra vivir...
I hear the earth living...
