Zamba Para No Morir
Mercedes Sosa
Zamba Not to Die
My voice will break the afternoon
Until yesterday's echo
I'm left alone in the end
Dead of thirst, tired of walking
But I keep growing in the Sun
Alive
It was the old time, the flower
The fruit wood
Then the axe started to strike
See it fall, just roll
But the tree will turn green again
New
As the daylight burns in the sky
I'm leaving
With the amazed leather, I'll go
Hoarse shouting that I'll return
Spread in the air to sing
Always
My reason doesn't ask for mercy
It's ready to leave
I'm not afraid of the ritual death
Just to sleep, see myself erased
A story will remind me
Alive
I see the field, the fruit, the honey
And this desire to love
I can't be defeated by oblivion
Today, like yesterday, always arrive
In the son it can return
New
As the daylight burns in the sky
I'm leaving
With the amazed leather, I'll go
Hoarse shouting that I'll return
Spread in the air to sing
Always
