Río de Las Penas
Mercedes Sosa
River of Sorrows
On that riverbank
I see you, you see me, we see each other
Your gaze and my gaze
And the river always in between
And the river always in between
So many messenger doves
Arrive at your eyes
Bringing me hope
Over the river of sorrows
Over the river of sorrows
And when the sun dries up
The tears from our eyes
Two white clouds will be born
With your cheek on my face
That in a luminous flight
Will unite in the sky
That in a luminous flight
Will unite in the sky
Little flower from the mountain
I want to kiss your lips
And thanks to this river
Nothing else but to look at you
Nothing else but to look at you
On that riverbank
Your heart beats faster
While mine
Keeps shouting, and shouting
Keeps shouting, and shouting
So many messenger doves
Arrive at your eyes
Bringing me hope
Over the river of sorrows
Over the river of sorrows
