La Montaña
Edson Velandia
The Mountain
The mountain where the sun sets
Path that leads to the river
The firewood that calls the fire
Song that scares away the storm
The birds that announce the night
The cold wind that comes
The stone where one sits
God, the calm of the snail
Sleep, child
For I name the landscape to you
Sleep, child
For I announce the passage to you
The cave where the mouse was born
Path that leads to the mountain
The water of the remedies
Song that lulls the loneliness
The cloud that looks at the moon
Whispers of the singers
The three everlasting stars
The matarratón tree
Sleep, child
For the singer is sleepy
Sleep, child
For the singer is sleepy
