El mensaje del río
Los Rancheros
The message of the river
Sometimes I fall on my feet
sometimes I fall upside down,
and sometimes I fall asleep.
Sometimes I lose control
sometimes I lose honor,
sometimes I lose sense.
Whose are the lost hours
whose are the suns you see,
where do the wandering souls go
where do the elephants die.
I just wish to learn
how to read
the message of the river.
If your bell rings
if we will eat honey,
or if we will be friends.
I learned not to be worried
about the things that happen in front of me,
I learned to look sideways
at everything that made me suffer.
A rose without thorns
a war without wounds doesn't exist, no no no no...
I learned that the first train
doesn't always reach its destination, no, no no no no...
The path within you is unique.
The torches I lit
illuminate the garden.
Sometimes I want to sing
sometimes I want to fly
sometimes I want nothing.
Whose are the lost hours
whose are the suns you see,
where do the wandering souls go
where do the elephants die.
And today I will continue
trying to survive
trying to survive
