Текст песни Lila Downs - Semilla de Piedra

nakúu ñu'un jin yoko

Semilla de piedra

na ntuku-ri niin nuyuu kuachi-ri
ja ka'an ntaa inka nikantija-ri
nakani xini-ri kuachi-ri
ja kuu antivi nu nija'anu-ri

Soy hija de un hombre de piedra
Venado con viento parió
Nací del color de la tierra
De un baño de fuego y vapor

Busqué por el mundo mi causa
Verdades de otros creí
Surgió en mi conciencia la falta
Del cielo donde yo crecí

Volví al refugio de razas de piedra y de lodo
Al seno de sangre manchada por todo
Al campo de infancia y de muerte
Al viento que impuso mi suerte

Volví a la tierra que mis sentimientos amaban
Donde yo no hallaba lo que yo buscaba
Por este momento he vivido
Hoy vivo mi orgullo perdido

child stones

I am daughter of a man of stone,
Generated by the beast and the wind,
I came out of the colors of the earth ,
Crater of fire and fumes.

I was looking around the world the business,
Believed alien righteousness,
Arose in my mind the lack of
Heaven under which I grew up .

I returned to the shelter tribes stone and mud,
In the bosom of blood , disgraced , in the end ,
In the field of infancy and death
By the wind that was in charge of my luck .

I went back to the land that I loved with all my heart ,
Where I could not find what I was looking ,
For this moment I lived
Today I live the lost pride.
