La Raíz de Mi Tierra (feat. Niña Pastori, Soledad)
Lila Downs
The Root of My Land (feat. Niña Pastori, Soledad)
I search for where I come from
That I got lost
I search for where I come from
That here is my root
What will become of me, if you're not there
I come like a dream, that I always believed
If I don't have you here, close to me
So you can wrap me up and I can continue
I want to be there
If the island sleeps
I want to see the waves
When the sea wakes up
And carry your air
Inside my blood
To give me time
In the rhythm and depth
A thirsty voice
Full of emotion
I bring you tonight
The root of my land
I bring you the verses
Three people dreaming
I give you the aroma and flavor of my land
I give you time in the rhythm and depth
A thirsty voice full of emotion
I bring you tonight
The root of my land
I bring you the verses
Three people dreaming
I give you the aroma and flavor of my land
I bring my root
I search for where I come from
That I got lost
I search for where I come from
That here is my root
Why did you get lost, girl
If your home is around here
Here is your race and life
From your navel the root
Here is your race and life
From your navel the root
With hunger I went far away
Hunger to seek truth
First I lost my way
Today I find my way again
First I lost my way
Today I find my way again
Now I can sing to the one who bore me
I no longer feel invisible
I can be who I am
I search for where I come from
That I got lost
I search for where I come from
That here is my root
I am part of you
I carry you in my blood
If once I left
It was to miss you
I always return to you
I can't deny you
You my hidden part
I your forward part
When my time comes
I want to return to your womb
I will be a new seed
Full of urgent dreams
I will be a new seed
Full of urgent dreams
I search for where I come from
That I got lost
I search for where I come from
That here is my root
I bring you tonight
The root of my land
I bring you the verses
Three people dreaming
I give you the aroma and flavor of my land
I bring my root
