Semillas de Chacarera

When I hold you to my chest
Oh, you light up my soul
They can know your time, your roots, and your depths
When I hold you to my chest
Oh, you light up my soul

You will come back to life in the first chords
And the cruel wounds of men will heal
You will come back to life in the first chords
Six little star tears have fallen in your shadow
Dark full moon, I will light you up with my song
Six little star tears have fallen in your shadow

Guitar, give me your magic to sing to my land
I want to plant in your box seeds of chacarera
Guitar, give me your magic to sing to my land
From those aching leaves, through autumn and the wind
It's life, the feeling deep in my heart
From those aching leaves, through autumn and the wind

Oh, if I could whisper softly in your ear
The song of the birds and the accent of the river
Oh, if I could whisper softly in your ear
When my tree dries up, I want to share your fate
To tremble in the hands of some wandering singer

When my tree dries up, I want to share your fate
Guitar, give me your magic to sing to my land
I want to plant in your boxes seeds of chacarera
Guitar, give me your magic to sing to my land
