La Cautiva

Oh, I hear it over there
A bird that’s been caught
I call her the captive
She’s got me in her grip
My heart is tied up
Like a knot that won’t come undone
Love for her is what I hold
She’s my treasure, my prize

I see the captive
I call out to you in your dreams
Don’t let the jungle
Make you suffer in silence
I can’t take it anymore
Tear away this pain
And I’ll celebrate your beauty
That’s in your heart

Your gaze is what I crave
Always like a bird in flight
We’ll reach wherever we can
My home is far away
Don’t ever be sad
Your spirit will stay strong
You’re not just my shadow
You’re alive in my heart

Don’t you worry, don’t you worry
I’ll hold you tight and never let go
Is there a chance you’ll live?
In my heart, you’re alive
You’re not just a ghost
You’re trapped in your cage
From your escape, I’ll be waiting
To be free from your chains

And a woman with a strong heart
Love that’s unbreakable
In my heart, she’s a fire
A love that’s like no other
To keep me warm in the night
Always in my dreams
Before she comes to me
And whispers in my ear
