Airiños, Airiños, Aires

Little breezes, little breezes, airs
Little breezes of my land
Little breezes, little breezes, airs
Little breezes, take me to her

Without her I cannot live
I cannot live without her
Wherever I go
A thick shadow covers me

A thick cloud covers me
So pregnant with storms
So pregnant with loneliness
That poisons my life

Take me, take me, little breezes
Like a dry leaf
For the fever that burns me
Has also dried me up

Oh, if you don't take me soon
Little breezes of my land
If you don't take me, little breezes
They may not recognize me anymore

Take me, take me, little breezes
Take me where they wait for me
A mother who cries for me
A father who doesn't breathe without me

A brother for whom I would give
The blood of my veins
And a love to whom I promised
Soul and life

If you don't take me soon
Oh, I will die of sadness
Alone in a strange land
Where strangers light me up

Where everything I see
Everything tells me 'foreigner!'
Oh, my poor little house!
Oh, my little red apple!

Don't let me die here
Little breezes of my land
For I still think that even in death
I will sigh for her

I still think, little breezes, airs
That after I am dead
And there in the cemetery
Where they have buried me

You will pass in the quiet night
Rustling among the dry leaves
Or murmuring fearfully
Among the white skulls

Even after I'm dead
Little breezes of my land
You will have to shout 'little breezes
Little breezes, take me to her!'

You will have to shout 'little breezes
Little breezes, take me to her!

Ai lala, lala, lalalala
Little breezes, take me to her.
