Como La Cigarra

León Gieco León Gieco

Like the Cicada

So many times they killed me
So many times I died
Yet here I am
Resurrecting

I give thanks to misfortune
And to the hand with a dagger
Because it killed me so badly
And I kept singing

Singing to the Sun like the cicada
After a year under the ground
Just like a survivor
Returning from the war

So many times they erased me
So many times I disappeared
And I went to my own burial
Alone and crying
I tied a knot in the handkerchief
But then I forgot
That it wasn't the only time
And I kept singing

Singing to the Sun like the cicada
After a year under the ground
Just like a survivor
Returning from the war

So many times they killed you
So many times you will resurrect
How many nights will you spend
Despairing
And at the hour of shipwreck
And darkness
Someone will rescue you
To keep on singing

Singing to the Sun like the cicada
After a year under the ground
Just like a survivor
Returning from the war
