Lyrics and translation Mercedes Sosa - El indio muerto - Remastered




El indio muerto - Remastered
The Dead Indian - Remastered
El cielo está enlutado
The sky is in mourning
De opaco poncho de nubes
With a dull poncho of clouds
El día murió a lo lejos
The day has died in the distance
Lo están velando arreboles
Sunsets are watching over it
Los cerros devuelven ecos
The hills echo
Del canto del chilicote
The song of the nightjar
Que perdido entre los yuyos
Lost among the weeds
Corea responsos tristes
Singing sad requiems
Ha muerto el indio poeta
The Indian poet is dead
Silencio le hacen los erkes
The erkes are silent in his honor
Y en los arroyos de Anta
And in the streams of Anta
Lloran los sauces su muerte
The willows weep for his death
El día se viene lento
The day comes slowly
Lo esperan rosadas nubes
Rosy clouds await it
Para contarle del luto
To tell it of the mourning
Que embarga a los hondos valles
Engulfing the valleys
Indio del triste silbo
Indian with the sad whistle
Tu canto lo tiene el monte
The mountains hold your song
De noche lo dará al viento
At night they will give it to the wind
Pa'que lo arree por los aires
So it can drive it through the air
