Desde Un Barrial
Los Jaivas
From a Muddy Place
If this song reaches you
it's because it knows
about the demons you carry
turned into thoughts that live.
Four hundred years
entire centuries
our path too
has been covered in fire.
Hope remains
like a remnant
trapped in the depths
of the corners of the soul.
And in its solitude
it consumes
what once was
love and faith turned to song.
I shake off the evil
let it burn
shatter it into a thousand pieces
there's no time left to waste.
The mountains are the refuge
suffering nurtures the soul,
the mountains are the refuge
suffering nurtures the soul.
With the scent of calm waters
far from everything your burning fever will fade away
will fade away.
This song rises
from a muddy place
that's why it seeks
the truth on the horizon.
This song rises, my life
from a muddy place.
