Текст и перевод песни Eva Ayllon - La Oncena

La Oncena

La nieve baja del cerro
Va guiando la espuma al río
El río se va a la nube
Libre como el canto mío

No quieran ponerme moldes
Para cantarle a la tierra
Yo canto con toda el alma
Pero canto a mi manera

Me gusta la voz del viento
Que siempre canta distinto
Aunque parezca lo mismo

Me va faltando una nota
Y no llego a la docena
Por eso es que mi festejo
Se va llamando la oncena

Eso eh...

No me importa que no escuchen
Si no quieren escucharme
Ni a cantarlo aprende el viento
Alguien habrá de heredarme

No quiero quedarme quieta
Junto a la vida que anda
Sobre el agua que se estanca
Se va la noche estrellada

Cada cual irá a su copla
No me gusta andar caminos
Que otros hayan recorrido

Me va faltando una nota
Y no llego a la docena
Por eso es que mi festejo
Se va llamando la oncena.

The Eleventh

The snow falls from the hill
It guides the foam to the river
The river goes to the cloud
As free as my song

Don't try to put me in a box
So I can sing to the earth
I sing with all my soul
But I sing in my own way

I like the voice of the wind
That always sings differently
Even though it seems the same

I'm missing a note
And I can't reach a dozen
That's why my celebration
Is called the eleventh

That, eh...

I don't care if they don't listen
If they don't want to hear me
Even the wind doesn't learn to sing
Someone will inherit me

I don't want to stay still
Next to life that goes on
On the water that stagnates
The starry night goes away

Each one will go to their verse
I don't like to walk paths
That others have traveled

I'm missing a note
And I can't reach a dozen
That's why my celebration
Is called the eleventh.
