Lyrics of Sube Conmigo, Amor Americano - Victor Heredia

Sube Conmigo, Amor Americano (original)

Sube conmigo, amor americano
Besa conmigo las piedras secretas
La plata torrencial del Urubamba
Hace volar el polen a su copa amarilla
Vuela el vacío de la enredadera
La plata pétrea, la guirnalda dura
Sobre el silencio del cajón serrano
Ven, minúscula vida, entre las alas
De la tierra, mientras — cristal y frío, aire golpeado-
Apartando esmeraldas combatidas
Oh, agua salvaje, bajas de la nieve
Sube conmigo, amor americano
Sube conmigo, amor americano
Amor, amor, hasta la noche abrupta
Desde el sonoro pedernal andino
Hacia la aurora de rodillas rojas
Contempla el hijo ciego de la nieve
Sube conmigo, amor americano
Sube conmigo, amor americano
Oh, Wilkamayu de sonoros hilos
Cuando rompes tus truenos lineales
En blanca espuma, como herida nieve
Cuando tu vendaval acantilado…
Sube conmigo, hermano americano
Sube conmigo, hermano americano
…canta y castiga despertando al cielo
¿qué idioma traes a la oreja apenas
Desarraigada de tu espuma andina?
Sube conmigo, hermano americano
Sube conmigo, hermano americano
Sube conmigo, hermano americano
Sube conmigo, hermano americano
Sube conmigo, hermano americano

(translation)

Climb with me, American love
Kiss with me the secret stones
The torrential silver of the Urubamba
He blows pollen into his yellow cup
Fly the void of the creeper
The stony silver, the hard garland
On the silence of the Serrano box
Come, tiny life, between the wings
Of the earth, while - glass and cold, air beaten -
Separating battled emeralds
Oh, wild water, you come down from the snow
Climb with me, American love
Climb with me, American love
Love, love, until the abrupt night
From the sonorous Andean flint
Towards the dawn of red knees
Behold the blind son of snow
Climb with me, American love
Climb with me, American love
O Wilkamayu of sonorous threads
When you break your linear thunder
In white foam, like wounded snow
When your cliff gale…
Climb with me, American brother
Climb with me, American brother
…sing and punish waking up to heaven
what language do you barely bring to your ear
Uprooted from your Andean foam?
Climb with me, American brother
Climb with me, American brother
Climb with me, American brother
Climb with me, American brother
Climb with me, American brother
