LA TIERRA DEL OLVIDO
By Carlos Vives
Como la luna que alumbra | Like the moon illuminates
Por la noche los caminos | the roads at night
Como las hojas al viento | Like the leaves in the wind
Como el sol espanta al frío | Like the sun dispels the cold
Como la tierra a la lluvia | Like the earth to the rain
Como el mar espera al rio | Like the sea awaits the river
Asi espero tu regreso | So I wait for your return
A la tierra del olvido. | To the land of forgetfulness.
Como naufragan mis miedos | Like my fears are destroyed
Si navego en tu mirada | If I look into your eyes
Como alertas mis sentidos | Like my senses are awakened
Con tu voz enamorada | With your beloved voice
Con tu sonrisa de nina | With your girlish smile
Como me mueves el alma | Like you move my soul
Como me quitas el sueno | Like you make me lose sleep
Como me robas la calma. | Like you take away my composure.
Tu tienes la llave de mi corazon | You hold the key to my heart
Yo te quiero | I love you
Mas que mi vida porque sin tu amor | More than my life because without your love
Yo me muero | I die.
Tu tienes la llave de mi corazon | You hold the key to my heart
Yo te quiero | I love you
Mas que mi vida porque sin tu amor | More than my life because without your love
Yo me muero | I die.
Como la luna que alumbra | Like the moon illuminates
Por la noche los caminos | the roads at night
Como las hojas al viento | Like the leaves in the wind
Como el sol espanta al frío | Like the sun dispels the cold
Como la tierra a la lluvia | Like the earth to the rain
Como el mar espera al rio | Like the sea awaits the river
Asi espero tu regreso | So I wait for your return
A la tierra del olvido. | To the land of forgetfulness.
Tu tienes la llave de mi corazon | You hold the key to my heart
Yo te quiero | I love you
Mas que mi vida porque sin tu amor | More than my life because without your love
Yo me muero | I die.
Tu tienes la llave de mi corazon | You hold the key to my heart
Yo te quiero | I love you
Mas que mi vida porque sin tu amor | More than my life because without your love
Yo me muero | I die.
Yo te doy... Oye! mi corazon. Oye! | I give you ...Oye! my heart. Oye!
Tu tienes la llave de mi corazon | You hold the key to my heart
Yo te quiero | I love you
Mas que mi vida porque sin tu amor | More than my life because without your love
Yo me muero | I die.
Tu tienes la llave de mi corazon | You hold the key to my heart
Yo te quiero | I love you
Mas que mi vida porque sin tu amor | More than my life because without your love
Yo me muero | I die.
Yo me muero... | I die
Colombia! Tierra mestiza. | Colombia! Land of mixture.
Mi Colombia, mi Colombia, tierra hermosa | My Colombia, my Colombia, beautiful land
Llena de mares, llena de montañas | Many seas, many mountains
De pajaros, de pajaros...aye! de arboles | many birds, many birds...aye! many trees...

A Note From The Gull
My heartfelt thanks to all the Colombian musicians and performers and technicians who were involved in the production of this Playing For Change video. Quite stunning! At the start of the video it is stated:
We have both in abundant supply in Trinidad and Tobago - love and music. Thanks to all the cultures that bless this land. Special thanks to those that do not erect enclaves, but mingle to embrace and to create and to enhance a common homeland.
"No matter how much division and struggle we face in life,
we can always persevere with the power of music and love."
we can always persevere with the power of music and love."
We have both in abundant supply in Trinidad and Tobago - love and music. Thanks to all the cultures that bless this land. Special thanks to those that do not erect enclaves, but mingle to embrace and to create and to enhance a common homeland.
"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.
Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.
Mweh ka allay!
