Serenata Para La Tierra de Uno
María Elena Walsh
Serenade for the Land of One
Because it hurts me if I stay
But I die if I leave,
For everything and despite everything, my love,
I want to live in you
For your decency of vidala
And for your scandal of sun,
For your summer with jasmines, my love,
I want to live in you
Because the language of childhood
Is a secret between the two of us,
Because you gave shelter
To the uprooting of my heart.
For your ancient rebellions
And for the age of your pain,
For your endless hope, my love,
I want to live in you.
To sow you with guitar,
To take care of you in every flower
And to hate those who punish you, my love,
I want to live in you
