Cenizas de Mis Años
Los Tobas
Ashes of My Years
What are you waiting for, my aching soul's song?
My verses are the cries that life left me all along.
Seeds of my fortune sprout in the dark,
The flowers of memory watered with a bitter mark.
I burned my misfortunes,
In the embers of silence,
Ashes of my years carried away by the winds.
Tucu-tucu of the soul, show me your joy,
Even if your light fades, it will shine again, oh boy.
I calm my anxieties, holding love's reins tight,
The gentle touch of my mother, who left me as a child.
Filled with hopes,
Calloused by time's hand,
My dreams were waves,
Of feelings that spanned.
Night of silver light that brightens my mind,
For those who kill their sorrows, looking deep inside.
Tucu-tucu of the soul, show me your joy,
Even if your light fades, it will shine again, oh boy.
