Vengo del Norte
Luz Casal
I Come from the North
I come from the north, I come from a world
Of fantasies and salt heroes
Who had no better fate
Than to be sentinels of the storm.
This is my home where my eyes
Want to settle down to dream
I sleep in the air and it's desire
That takes me to another place.
And to the north I will go
When I feel it's time to head back
To the same sea.
I come from the north, from every village
Where the women know how to fight
Because the land bargains with them
For every seed, every truth.
Land that rises because its men
Break their backs working hard
Crossing seas, reaping winds
Searching for a port to dock.
And to the north I will go
When I feel it's time to head back
To the same sea.
I’m like the north and its geography
Deep roots and clear whispers
Passion so deep that it still
Holds the essence of its worth.
And to the north I will go
When I feel it's time to head back.
And to the north I will go
When I feel the time has come
To return to the same sea.
