Lyrics and translation Amparanoia - Sacaron Agua

Sacaron Agua

Sacaron agua
Sacaron agua
Sacaron agua
Sacaron agua del pozo
Y apagaron la calor
El fuego se fue muriendo
Y plantaron el arroz
Cantaron a la madre tierra
Yemeya les escucho
Semilla que broto hacia el cielo,
Sonrisa mirando al sol
Sacaron agua
Sacaron agua
Sacaron agua

Huye si quema, huye de la pena
Busca, busca vientro fresco
Busca otro aliento, huye si quema

Sacaron agua
Sacaron agua
Sacaron agua
Sacaron agua de lluvia
Recogieron el arroz
Pa comerlo con frijoles
Y brindaron con ron
Sacaron bata y clave
Se lio el guaguanco
Mujeres, niños danzaron,
Hombre lucumi hablo
Sacaron agua
Sacaron agua
Sacaron agua

Corre el agua, corre el agua
Corre el agua mi yemeya
Corre el agua, corre el agua

They drew water

They drew water
They drew water
They drew water
They drew water from the well
And put out the heat
The fire was dying
And they planted the rice
They sang to Mother Earth
Yemaya heard them
Seed that sprouted towards the sky,
Smiling at the sun
They drew water
They drew water
They drew water

Flee if it burns, flee from pain
Seek, seek fresh womb
Seek another breath, flee if it burns

They drew water
They drew water
They drew water
They drew rainwater
They harvested the rice
To eat it with beans
And they toasted with rum
They brought out drums and sticks
And the guaguanco began
Women, children danced,
Lucumi man spoke
They drew water
They drew water
They drew water

The water runs, the water runs
The water runs my Yemaya
The water runs, the water runs
