Camino Largo (part. Rafael Santos Díaz)

Valledupar

I search in the serene nights of my land
The sad note that springs from an accordion
To feel in love again
I come from the past, from verses and songs
I look at the path of my ancestors
And find that they suffered because of love

I beg the wind and the night
To give me strength not to love you
The soul cries and in the end I sense
That your love will cause my death

I will look towards the sky, and among the mountains
My thoughts will fly far away from here
With a firm step, seeking a path
Where I can stop to forget you
Under a new sky, sow new life
One of hope where I can be happy

Oh, I know I can't find it
It's the long road
Long like my sorrows
Sorrows that hurt me

And from Arelys Henao to here
Long live the women
Oh, dad, here you have your son

If my words keep the breath
They will sing the old traces of my life
The desire dies, you are no longer by my side
And in the endless nights, stars will cry
Very sad eyes, of mourning gaze
Only wounded feelings will remain

Dawn breaks, a new day arrives
A thousand daggers pierce my soul
What will become of my hope
Please, return my calm

I will look towards the sky, and among the mountains
My thoughts will fly far away from here
With a firm step, seeking a path
Where I can stop to forget you
Under a new sky, sow new life
One of hope, where I can be happy

I know I can't find it
It's the long road
Oh, long like my sorrows
Sorrows that hurt me
Long like my sorrows
Sorrows that hurt me
