La Barranca
La Barranca
The Ravine
A glance was enough for me to know
That this is not child's play
The sound of a metal gate
Suddenly reminds me
That there's no way to escape from here
No one can leave the ravine
Have mercy on human souls
That plummet into this ravine
Have mercy on my poor reason
That sometimes falls apart
And it's necessary to know how to dream
To survive in the ravine
A word, a sentence, a prayer
Breaks the silence of the whole night
It's a ray that comes to shine
In the middle of this jungle
And it's necessary to know how to speak
To survive in the ravine
