La Gaviota(original) |
Con tu puñal desatado |
Abriendo la inmensidad |
Te pareces demasiado,' |
Gaviota, a la libertad |
Quiero seguirle en el vuelo |
Gaviota, si me dejás; |
Ya nos robaron el cielo |
Será muy duro volar |
El gringo roba hasta el aire |
Roba la tierra y el mar |
Y una garúa de sangre |
Nos moja sin acabar; |
Hay que matar esa nube |
Con una gran tempestad |
Para romper la costumbre |
Gaviota, de lagrimear |
En las orillas de américa |
Eres la dueña del mar |
Yo soy esclavo en mi tierra |
Mi continente sin pan |
La sangre sigue cayendo |
Gaviota, sobre los dos |
El yankee ríe por dentro |
Gaviota, parémoslo |
Con tu armamento de espumas |
Con mi puñal vengador |
Con su balazo la luna |
Con el gatillo del sol |
Hay que matar esa historia |
Con un disparo final |
Para que lluevan auroras |
Sobre mi tierra y tu mar |
(translation) |
With your dagger unleashed |
Opening the immensity |
You look too much,' |
Seagull, to freedom |
I want to follow you on the flight |
Seagull, if you let me; |
They already stole our sky |
It will be very hard to fly |
The gringo steals even the air |
He steals the land and the sea |
And a dribble of blood |
It wets us without finishing; |
You have to kill that cloud |
with a big storm |
to break the habit |
seagull, from tearing up |
On the shores of America |
You are the owner of the sea |
I am a slave in my land |
my continent without bread |
The blood keeps falling |
Seagull, over the two |
The yankee laughs inside |
Seagull let's stop it |
With your armament of foams |
With my avenging dagger |
With its bullet the moon |
With the trigger of the sun |
You have to kill that story |
with a final shot |
so that it rains auroras |
Over my land and your sea |
