Translation of the song lyrics Volver Al Valle - Carlos Vives

Volver Al Valle (original)

He regresado al Valle
yo les cuento a mis amigos,
soando esos amores
que en el tiempo florecieron
y aunque me encuentro lejos
de su gente no me olvido,
conservo an el cario
y el amor que all me dieron.
Camino por las noches,
me despiertan los anhelos,
las aguas tan bonitas
que tiene el Guatapur
y paso por la casa
donde yo una vez viv,
llegando hasta la plaza
me desbordan los recuerdos.
Una mujer que mece una cuna.
Un hombre que le canta a su pueblo.
Un valle que ilumina la luna
y una montaa que besa el cielo.
(bis)
He regresado al Valle
al homenaje de Emiliano
con todo ese cario
que su pueblo le brind
y me encontr esa noche
junto a Lorenzo Morales
que me ense canciones
pa’que las cantara yo.
De Gustavo Gutierrez
escuch que andaba triste
que la paz de mi pueblo
hoy es un grito de su voz
y me cant Leandro
versos para Luis Aurelio
porque l lo quiere mucho
as como lo quiero yo.
Las fiestas de Hernandito Molina
oyendo las canciones de Alejo,
sentado muy tranquilo en la esquina
de la casa de Paulina y Pedro.
(bis)
Qu lindo es volver al Valle.
Ver sus campos florecidos.
De amores inolvidables
y de entraables amigos.
(bis)

(translation)

I have returned to the Valley
I tell my friends
dreaming those loves
that in time flourished
and although I am far away
of its people I do not forget,
I still keep the love
and the love that they gave me there.
I walk at night
desires wake me up,
the waters so beautiful
What does Guatapur have
and I pass by the house
where I once lived,
reaching the square
Memories overwhelm me.
A woman who rocks a cradle.
A man who sings to his people about him.
A valley lit by the moon
and a mountain that kisses the sky.
(Bis)
I have returned to the Valley
to the homage of Emiliano
with all that love
that his people gave him
and i found myself that night
with Lorenzo Morales
teach me songs
so that I could sing them.
By Gustavo Gutierrez
I heard you were sad
that the peace of my people
today is a cry of your voice
and Leandro sang to me
verses for Luis Aurelio
because he loves him very much
just as I want it.
Hernandito Molina's festivities
listening to the songs of Alejo,
sitting very quiet in the corner
from the house of Paulina and Pedro.
(Bis)
How nice it is to return to the Valley.
See its flowered fields.
of unforgettable love
and dear friends.
(Bis)
