Lyrics and translation Devendra Banhart - Abre Las Manos

Abre Las Manos

Abre las alas, el mundo te espera
Una sorpresa que Dios te guarda
Abre las manos, el cielo te guarda
Un regalito que es solo pa' ti
El verde de tu pelo
Y el azul de tu piel
El amor es un espejo
Donde nadie se ve
Cierra los ojos y mira tu alma
Una hojita en el árbol de amor
Abre los ojos y mira quien te ama
Una rama, rama, rama, rama
Tu Dios es mi diosa
No puede ser diferente
Mi diosa es tu Dios
No le pares a la gente
Mira el abasto cubrido de sangre
Te estaba buscando pero no hay nadie
Mira el museo fue destrozao'
Por gente que nunca había entrao'
Mira la fila, veinte mil horas
Ahí está mi tía esperando su pan
Que porcentaje de gente con hambre
Es necesario pa' que algo cambie
Ayer mi vecina fue secuestrada
Quería contarte pero eso no es na'
Abre las manos el mundo te espera
Un regalito que es solo pa' ti
Es solo pa' ti
Es solo pa' ti
Es solo pa' ti

Open Your Arms

Open your wings, the world awaits
A surprise that God has for you
Open your hands, heaven protects you
A little gift that is just for you
The green of your hair
And the blue of your skin
Love is a mirror
Where no one sees themselves
Close your eyes and see your soul
A little leaf on the tree of love
Open your eyes and see who loves you
A branch, branch, branch, branch
Your God is my goddess
It can't be any different
My goddess is your God
Don't listen to people
Look at the market covered in blood
I was looking for you but there is no one there
Look at the museum, it was destroyed
By people who had never entered
Look at the line, twenty thousand hours
There is my aunt waiting for her bread
What percentage of hungry people
Is necessary for something to change
Yesterday my neighbor was kidnapped
I wanted to tell you but that's nothing
Open your hands, the world awaits
A little gift that is just for you
It's just for you
It's just for you
It's just for you
