Hasta La Raíz [Natalia Lafourcade] English Translation

Song Title: To the root

I keep crossing rivers
Walking through jungles, loving the sun
Every day I keep pulling out thorns
From the depths of my heart
In the night I keep lighting up dreams
To cleanse
With sacred smoke, every memory

When I write your name on the white sand, against a blue background
When I look at the sky in the cruel shape
Of a gray cloud, you appear
One afternoon I climb a high hill
Look at the past, you will know that I have not forgotten you

[Chorus]

I carry you inside
To the root
And, no matter how much it grows
You will be here
Even if I hide behind the mountain
And find a field full of sugarcane
There will be no way, my moonbeam, that you go

Oh-uh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-uh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-uh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-uh-oh-oh, oh-oh

I think that every moment survived while walking
And every second of uncertainty
Every moment of not knowing
Are the exact key to this fabric
That I am carrying under the skin
So I protect you
Here you remain inside

[Chorus]

I carry you inside
To the root
And, no matter how much it grows
You will be here
Whether I hide behind the mountain
And find a field full of sugarcane
There will be no way, my moonbeam, that you go
That you go

(Repeat Chorus)

Oh-uh-oh, uh-uh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-uh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-uh-oh, uh-uh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-uh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-uh-oh, uh-uh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-uh, oh-oh
Oh-uh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-uh, oh-oh
Oh-uh-oh, uh-uh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-uh, oh-oh
Oh-uh-oh-oh
Oh-uh, oh-oh

(Repeat Chorus)
