El Arcoíris
Iván Villazón
The Rainbow
Paint me a swallow and I'll tell you
If you are a good painter
It must have a thorn in its beak
And pain in its eyes
Paint me a swallow and I'll tell you
If you are a good painter
It must have a thorn in its beak
And pain in its eyes
They say that when Christ was agonizing
A swarm of wandering swallows came from the west
To clean his face
And remove the thorns with their beaks
Stuck in his forehead
And you, and you, and you
You are my swallow Dina Luz
You are my swallow Dina Luz
You are my swallow
They say that rainbows are born
In the Nevada in front of Valledupar
And after a downpour they hide
In the savannah, close to Patillal
They say that rainbows are born
In the Nevada in front of Valledupar
And after a downpour they hide
In the savannah, close to Patillal
And then the swallows come out
So the Sun can see them
And then they disappear into the air
Like rainbows
And you, and you, and you
You are my rainbow Dina Luz
You are my rainbow Dina Luz
You are my rainbow
If you see a very beautiful rainbow
And at the bottom a cross
Jaime Molina painted it from heaven
And it's for Dina Luz
If you see a very beautiful rainbow
And at the bottom a cross
Jaime Molina painted it from heaven
And it's for Dina Luz
And if she sees a rainbow in the afternoon
I know she will understand
That it's the same one my buddy painted
I come to deliver it
Why, why, why
Because she's my favorite Dina Luz
Because she's my favorite Dina Luz
She's my favorite
