Cuando El Rio Suena

Compay Segundo Compay Segundo

When the River Sounds

You can cross
So many wounds, so much awareness
And with a shiver
You mix the air in your head
In the shadow of the hurricane
Sounds break
You swim in salt
I know
The flesh is strong
And stones rain down
If the river sounds

And when you cross
You forget the hunger, eat patience
And without looking
A fixed point cutting tongues
In the shadow of the hurricane
Damn corner, swimming in salt
And I know
The flesh is strong
And stones rain down
If the river sounds

After crossing
Steps stretch, legs shorten
Wanting to get through
The reddish faith with feet of stone
In the shadow of the hurricane
Bite while asleep, swimming in salt
And I know
The flesh is strong
And stones rain down
If the river sounds

You can cross
So many wounds, so much awareness
And without looking
A fixed point cutting tongues
In the shadow of the hurricane
Damn corner
Swimming in salt
And I know
The flesh is strong
Better to have it in hand
If I don't cross the river
To err is human
And stones rain down
And stones rain down
If the river sounds
