Translation of the song lyrics Nuevo Viento - Lila Downs

Nuevo Viento (original)

Una culebra de nube, y una culebra de lluvia
Viene bajando del cielo, viene bajando solita
Tu eres el macho culebra, el que del cielo bajó
Vienes buscando a tu hembra, por el arroyo del có
Con el tambor te cantaste unas palabras de humo
A la mujer la animaste, con tu chubasco de brujo
Koó koó de la nube, koó koó de la lluvia
Ese viento bendito, rumbo que nace el sol
Nace un señor de la piedra, y hasta se vuelve culebra
Quien dijo que se sabía, ese misterio de Dios
Dice la gente del monte, que llega sin avisar
Que en una peña de lobos, se anda dejando agarrar

Nuevo Viento (translation)

A cloud snake, and a rain snake
It comes down from the sky, it comes down alone
You are the male snake, the one that came down from the sky
You come looking for your female, by the có stream
With the drum you sang some words of smoke
You encouraged the woman, with your sorcerer shower
Koó koó of the cloud, koó koó of the rain
That blessed wind, direction that the sun is born
A lord is born from the stone, and he even becomes a snake
Who said it was known, that mystery of God
Says the people of the mountain, who arrive without warning
That in a rock of wolves, he lets himself be grabbed
