En El Río

Last night I dreamed that my father was alive
And we were fishing together in the river
Like that time in midsummer
When we swam in the river as kids
The one who witnessed generation after generation
Will not see my children in the river
The dragonflies flew into exile in the river
Only a thread remains from its course
And that thread screams murderers

Last night I dreamed that swimming downstream
I reached the sea
I saw you passing by smiling on a shore
I called you but you didn't hear me
The one who witnessed generation after generation
Who left with you in the river
The dragonflies flew into exile in the river
Only a thread remains from its course
And that thread screams murderers

When the sun sets and twilight takes over the sky
The evening gives way to fireflies on the river
Thousands of bright red lights watch over everything
And now you are all alone, where have they gone?
They have left you abandoned and wounded
I don't want to look, I am ashamed of what they have done to you
In the river
The dragonflies flew into exile
Today the river screams murderers, murderers
