Hacia La Vida
Chavela Vargas
Towards Life
I come from where comes
My friend the wind,
I bring scents of light
That the hills tasted,
And silent harmonies
Of the most beautiful night.
Don't ask who I am,
Because I don't tell you,
I only know that where I go,
Love goes with me,
And with pure courage,
I have changed my luck,
Today I go towards life,
Today I go towards life,
Before I went to death.
When I asked for justice,
They didn't give it to me,
When I wanted to love,
They didn't love me,
When I built a nest,
With betrayal they burned it,
When I prayed to Christ,
My prayers didn't reach me.
Don't ask who I am,
Because I don't tell you,
I only know that where I go,
Love goes with me,
And with pure courage,
I have changed my luck,
Today I go towards life,
Today I go towards life,
Before I went... Before I went...
To fucking death!
