Lyrics and translation Inti Illimani feat. Luis Le-Bert - A Mi Ciudad (En Vivo)




A Mi Ciudad (En Vivo)
To My City (Live)
Quien me ayudaria
Who would help me
A desarmar tu historia antigua
To dismantle your ancient history
Y a pedazos volverte a conquistar
And in pieces, to conquer you again
Una ciudad quiero tener
I want to have a city
Para todos construida
Built for everyone
Y que alimente a quien la quiera habitar.
And that feeds whomever wants to inhabit it.
Santiago, no has querido ser el centro
Santiago, you haven't wanted to be the center
Y tu nunca has conocido el mar.
And you've never known the sea.
Como seran ahora tus calles
What will your streets be like now
Si te robaron tus noches.
If they stole your nights.
En mi ciudad murio un dia
One day, the sun of spring died
El sol de primavera
In my city
A mi ventana me fueron a avisar
They came to let me know at my window
Anda, toma tu guitarra
Go on, take your guitar
Tu voz sera de todos los que un dia
Your voice will belong to all those who one day
Tuvieron algo que contar.
Had something to tell.
Golpeare mil puertas
I will knock on a thousand doors
Preguntando por tus dias
Asking about your days
Si responden aprendera a cantar
If they answer, I'll learn to sing
Recorreremos tu alegria
We will travel through your joy
Desde el cerro a tus mejillas
From the hill to your cheeks
Y de ahi saldra un verso a mi ciudad.
And from there a verse will emerge to my city.
Santiago, quiero verte enamorado
Santiago, I want to see you in love
Y a tu habitante mostrarte sin temor
And to show yourself to your inhabitants without fear
En tus calles sentiras mi paso firme
I will feel my steady step in your streets
Y sabre de quien respira a mi lado.
And I will know who breathes beside me.
En mi ciudad...
In my city...
Canta, es mejor si vienes,
Sing, it's better if you come,
Tu voz hace falta
Your voice is needed
Quiero verte en mi ciudad (bis)
I want to see you in my city (repeat)
En mi ciudad...
In my city...
