El Cielo Esta Dentro de Mí
Atahualpa Yupanqui
Heaven is Within Me
(At the top of the mountain
I stopped to rest)
(But I felt like I was leaving
Without moving from the place)
(My eyes got lost
In that vastness)
(And I forgot about myself
Just looking and looking)
(Suddenly the voice of loneliness
Asked me)
(If I was looking for heaven
And I answered maybe)
(Heaven is within oneself
And hell is there too)
(The soul writes its books
But no one reads them)
(Sometimes one walks
Between shadow and light)
(A smile on the face
And a cross in the heart)
(Look for heaven within yourself
You will find it there)
(But it's not easy to find
As there's much to fight)
(On lonely paths
I started walking)
(Outwardly seeking nothing
But inwardly, maybe)
