Текст и перевод песни Nación Ekeko feat. Mercedes Sosa - Como la Cigarra

Como la Cigarra

Tantas veces me mataron,
Tantas veces me morí,
Sin embargo estoy aquí
Resucitando.
Gracias doy a la desgracia
Y a la mano con puñal,
Porque me mató tan mal,
Y seguí cantando.
Cantando al sol
Y segui cantando
Cantando al sol.

Tantas veces me borraron
Tantas desaparecí
A mi propio entierro fui solo y llorando
Hice un nudo del pañuelo pero me olvidé después
Que no era la única vez
Y seguí cantando
Cantando al sol
Y segui cantando
Cantando al sol
Como la cigarra,
Después de un año bajo la tierra
Igual que sobreviviente (igual que sobreviviente)
Que vuelve de la guerra.

Tantas veces te mataron
Tantas resucitarás
Cuántas noches pasarás desesperando
Tantas veces me mataron
Tantas desapareci
Y a la hora del naufragio y a la de la oscuridad
Alguien te rescatará (tantas veces me mataron)
Para ir cantando (tantas desapareci)
Para ir cantando
Cantando al sol como la cigarra
Después de un año bajo la tierra
Igual que sobreviviente (igual que sobreviviente)
Que vuelve de la guerra
Cantando al sol como la cigarra
Después de un año bajo la tierra
Igual que sobreviviente (igual que sobreviviente)
Que vuelve de la guerra

Cantando al sol (tantas veces me mataron)
Y segui cantando
Cantando al sol (tantas veces me mataron)
Y segui cantando (tantas desapareci)
Cantando al sol
Y segui cantando (tantas veces me borraron)
Y segui cantando (tantas desapareci)
Cantando al sol
Y segui cantando (tantas veces me borraron)
Y segui cantando (tantas desapareci)
Y segui cantando
Cantando al sol

Like the Cicada

They've killed me so many times,
I've died so many times,
But I'm still here
Resurrected.
I give thanks to misfortune
And to the hand with the dagger,
Because it killed me so badly,
And I kept singing.
Singing to the sun
And I kept singing
Singing to the sun.

They've erased me so many times
I've disappeared so many times
I went to my own funeral alone and weeping
I tied a knot in a handkerchief but then I forgot
That it wasn't the only time
And I kept singing
Singing to the sun
And I kept singing
Singing to the sun
Like the cicada,
After a year underground
Just like a survivor (just like a survivor)
Who comes back from war.

They've killed you so many times
You'll resurrect so many times
How many nights will you spend despairing
They've killed me so many times
I've disappeared so many times
And in the hour of shipwreck and in the time of darkness
Someone will rescue you (they've killed me so many times)
To go on singing (I've disappeared so many times)
To go on singing
Singing to the sun like the cicada
After a year underground
Just like a survivor (just like a survivor)
Who comes back from war
Singing to the sun like the cicada
After a year underground
Just like a survivor (just like a survivor)
Who comes back from war

Singing to the sun (they've killed me so many times)
And I kept singing
Singing to the sun (they've killed me so many times)
And I kept singing (I've disappeared so many times)
Singing to the sun
And I kept singing (they've erased me so many times)
And I kept singing (I've disappeared so many times)
Singing to the sun
And I kept singing (they've erased me so many times)
And I kept singing (I've disappeared so many times)
And I kept singing
Singing to the sun
