Translation of the song lyrics Soy Luz y Sombra - Ry Cooder

Soy Luz y Sombra (original)

Soy luz y sombra, el sol brillante
Frio beso de nubes, frio beso de nubes
Que acarisia tu piel, que apolla tu andar
La roca bajo tus pies, soy
La voz del buho, que siempre nos canta
«?Quien podra negarnos, lo que nos falta?»
Todos pasan sus dias entre mis brazos
Tenemos mucho que compartir
Hogar fecundo de arboles viejos
De flores tiernas recien nacidas
Con raices maduras y esperanza futuras
La familia unida
Preguntale al polvo de donde nacimos
Preguntale al bosque que con la lluvia crecimos
Preguntale a las palmas que con el viento se mueven
Escucha el corazon de tu madre y pruebe
La voz del buho, que siempre nos canta
«?Quien podra negarnos, lo que nos falta?»
Todos pasan sus dias entre mis brazos
Tenemos mucho que compartir

(translation)

I am light and shadow, the shining sun
cold kiss of clouds, cold kiss of clouds
That caresses your skin, that supports your walk
The rock under your feet, I am
The voice of the owl, which always sings to us
"Who could deny us, what we lack?"
They all spend their days in my arms
We have a lot to share
Fertile home of old trees
Of tender new born flowers
With mature roots and future hope
The United Family
Ask the dust where we were born
Ask the forest that with the rain we grew
Ask the palms that move with the wind
Listen to your mother's heart and try
The voice of the owl, which always sings to us
"Who could deny us, what we lack?"
They all spend their days in my arms
We have a lot to share
