La Cultura Es La Sonrisa
León Gieco
Culture Is The Smile
Culture is the smile that shines everywhere
In a book, in a child, in a movie or in a theater
I just have to invite her to come and sing for a while
Oh, oh, oh, life is passing by
But culture stays here
Culture is the smile for all ages
It can be in a mother, in a friend, or in a flower
Or maybe it takes refuge in the rough hands of a worker
Oh, oh, oh, life is passing by
But culture stays here
Culture is the smile with ancient forces
She waits wounded, forbidden, or buried
For the time to come and illuminate her soul again
Oh, oh, oh, life is passing by
But culture stays here
Culture is the smile that caresses the song
And the whole town rejoices, who can tell her no?
Only someone who wants
Our hearts to be sad
Oh, oh, oh, life is passing by
But culture stays here
Oh, oh, oh, life is passing by
But culture stays here
Oh, oh, oh, life is passing by
But culture stays here
