El Volcán de La Cruz

With bitterness, the whole world was left
The avalanche swept away many people
Some were left sad, lost in their way
And others got the death blow

The treacherous Ruiz snowcap
Did more than was predicted
It took away the town of Armero
Chinchina was also bled dry

It's a blow that saddened the soul
And the bitterness weighs on the heart
The tragedy left by the snowcap
Is written in blood and pain

So many died there that day
The avalanche was a treacherous blow
The flow of that cursed mud
Mercilessly trapped them there
The flow of that cursed mud
Mercilessly trapped them there

A girl in her melancholy
Before the world, the feeling vibrated
Just by looking, she brought sorrow
And her death was our torment

While the whole town suffered
That night a little boy was born
Fortunate enough to be alive
For the world, he’s called Armerito

It's a blow that saddened the soul
And the bitterness weighs on the heart
The tragedy left by the snowcap
Is written in blood and pain

So many died there that day
The avalanche was a treacherous blow
The flow of that cursed mud
Mercilessly trapped them there
The flow of that cursed mud
Mercilessly trapped them there
