Canción de Amor Para Mi Patria
Mercedes Sosa
Love Song For My Homeland
Maybe because you hurt me
Maybe because I love you
Maybe I'm sure you can
Fill the sky with doves
Maybe because I would like you to fly
That my flight remains yours
Maybe you're in heat
Watching over the dawn
Or perhaps accumulating sleepless nights
For long-cradled doubts
Only rises from the ground
He who fully extends his wings
My beloved
My dear
Oh my homeland!
From stumble to stumble
The course is lost
Of joy
Let's go up
Let it not be said
That you're crying
That your wounds
Badly matched
Will heal
Defend your right to life
And together we will keep going
Maybe you no longer want
To suffer more disappointments
That you live building walls
For fear that the light will harm you
If your nets are no longer full
There is no evil that lasts a hundred years
Perhaps in appearances
You move away or I move away
The fact is we suffer from absence
With an ambiguous and equal pain
Love doesn't mean closeness
You can also love from afar
My beloved
My dear
Oh my homeland!
From stumble to stumble
The course is lost
Of joy
Let's go up
Let it not be said
That you're crying
That your wounds
Badly matched
Will heal
Defend your right to life
And together we will keep going
