Lyrics and translation Marta Gómez feat. Nano Stern - Basilio




Basilio
Basilio
Debajo de la tierra duerme un Dios
Under the earth, a God sleeps
Dicen que es más fuerte que el Dios de afuera
They say his strength surpasses that of the God above
Que si le da la gana te hace una broma
If he so chooses, he'll play a trick on you
Y te encierra con él dentro de la tierra
And imprison you with him under the earth
Yo prefiero llevarle un ramito de coca
I prefer to bring him a sprig of coca
Pa' tenerlo contento y que no se ofenda
To keep him happy and prevent him from taking offense
Y me deje salir corriendo del cerro
And allow me to escape from the mountain
A inventarme la vida que a me toca
To invent the life that's meant for me
Kalma, Urku, Qhuya
Kalma, Urku, Qhuya
Nina. Nocapi Kausay
Nina. Nocapi Kausay
Vida, ramito, Dios
Life, sprig, God
Cerro, metal, la vida que me tocó
Mountain, metal, the life that was given to me
La suerte que yo sufro nadie la entiende
The fortune I endure, no one understands
Solo el diablo que vive del mismo fuego
Only the devil who lives in the same fire
Por eso al tío Diablo cosas le ofrendo
That's why I make offerings to Lord Devil
Porque arriba del cerro ya ni Dios sube
Because God himself no longer ascends this mountain
Un día al año el carnaval me alegra
Once a year, the carnival brings me joy
Y bajamos cantando de la montaña
And we descend from the mountain, singing
Vestido de colores el viento suena
The wind resounds, dressed in vibrant hues
Como si con su voz él también dijera
As if its voice echoed these words
Kalma, Urku, Qhuya
Kalma, Urku, Qhuya
Nina. Nocapi Kausay
Nina. Nocapi Kausay
Vida, ramito, Dios
Life, sprig, God
Cerro, metal, la vida que me tocó
Mountain, metal, the life that was given to me
