El Centro de Mis Ojos
Amaral
The Center of My Eyes
One morning of wild delirium I woke up
With the fever of the migratory bird
I felt my forehead burning
I left my house, I left a kind life
I've seen things that I haven't told anyone
I've seen the greatest love, the one a mother gives you
And I saw the strongest pain, the face of death
The center of my eyes
Is the center of an earthquake
We'll do it little by little
Even though the world has gone crazy
And you can see it in my eyes
I jumped from the highest rock into the sea
And naked I entered the water
I baptized myself again
The good things that I've been remembering
My songs, I give them to you
The center of my eyes
Is the center of an earthquake
We'll do it little by little
Even though the world has gone crazy
You can see it in my eyes
I was born in a burnt land
I was a girl with a sad gaze
Don't be afraid, I know it seems strange
We are seeing with closed eyes
The center of my eyes
Is the center of an earthquake
We'll do it little by little
Even though the world has gone crazy
You can see it in my eyes
