Lyrics of El Monte y el Río - Jorge Drexler

El Monte y el Río (original)

En mi patria hay un monte
En mi patria hay un río
Ven conmigo, ven
Conmigo ven, conmigo
La noche al monte sube
El hambre baja al río
Ven conmigo, ven
Conmigo ven, conmigo
¿Quiénes son los que sufren?
No sé, pero son míos
Ven conmigo, ven
Conmigo ven, conmigo
No sé, pero me llaman
Y me dicen «Sufrimos»
Ven conmigo, ven
Conmigo ven, conmigo
Y me dicen: «Tu pueblo
Tu pueblo desdichado
Entre el monte y el río
Con hambre y con dolores
No quiere luchar solo
Te está esperando, amigo"
En mi patria hay un monte
En mi patria hay un rio
Ven conmigo, ven
Conmigo ven, conmigo
La noche al monte sube
El hambre baja al rio
Ven conmigo, ven
Conmigo ven, conmigo
¿Quiénes son los que sufren?
No sé, pero son míos
Ven conmigo, ven
Conmigo ven, conmigo
No sé, pero me llaman
Y me dicen «Sufrimos»
Ven conmigo, ven
Conmigo ven, conmigo
Y me dicen: «Tu pueblo
Tu pueblo desdichado
Entre el monte y el río
Con hambre y con dolores
No quiere luchar solo
Te está esperando, amigo"
En mi patria hay un monte
En mi patria hay un rio
Ven conmigo, ven
Conmigo ven, conmigo
Ven conmigo, ven
Conmigo ven, conmigo
Ven conmigo, ven
Conmigo ven, conmigo
En mi patria hay un monte
En mi patria hay un rio
Ven conmigo

(translation)

In my country there is a mountain
In my homeland there is a river
come with me, come
with me come with me
The night to the mountain climbs
Hunger goes down to the river
come with me, come
with me come with me
Who are those who suffer?
I don't know but they are mine
come with me, come
with me come with me
I don't know but they call me
And they tell me «We suffer»
come with me, come
with me come with me
And they tell me: "Your people
your unfortunate people
Between the mountain and the river
Hungry and in pain
He doesn't want to fight alone
It's waiting for you, friend"
