Lyrics and translation Leon Gieco - Bajaste del Norte




Bajaste del Norte
You Came Down from the North
Bajaste del norte
You came down from the North
Sin más que cuatro hijos
With nothing more than four children
Y aquel cielo de tus ojos
And those eyes of heaven's blue
Y una mujer que te aprendió a seguir
And a woman who learned to follow you
Buscabas el peso
You were looking for fortune
Sin darte por vencido
Never giving up
Mas al final de cada día
But at the end of every day
Las manos vacías
Empty hands
Volvías a encontrar
You would find again
Por eso te entiendo
That's why I understand you
Cuando en un vaso te vas
When you lose yourself in a glass
Quién sabe adonde
Who knows where
Buscando eso que llaman paz
Searching for that which they call peace
Y aunque sabes que te dicen
And although you know they say
Viejo borracho sos tan bueno
You're a good old drunk
Que ni siquiera al diablo los mandas
Who sends
Los mandas
Not even the devil
Buscabas el peso
You were looking for fortune
Sin darte por vencido
Never giving up
Mas al final de cada día
But at the end of every day
Las manos vacías
Empty hands
Volvías a encontrar
You would find again
Por eso te entiendo
That's why I understand you
Cuando en un vaso te vas
When you lose yourself in a glass
Quién sabe adonde
Who knows where
Buscando eso que llaman paz
Searching for that which they call peace
Y aunque sabes que te dicen
And although you know they say
Viejo borracho sos tan bueno
You're a good old drunk
Que ni siquiera al diablo los mandas
Who sends
Los mandas
Not even the devil
