Tu Que Puedes Vuevete (Cancion Criolla) - Atahualpa Yupanqui

Soñe que el rio me hablaba

Con voz de nieve cumbreña

Y dulce, me recordaba

Las cosas de mi querencia

Tu que puedes, vuelvete …

Me dijo el rio llorando

Los cerros que tanto quieres

-me dijo-

Alla te estan esperando

Es cosa triste ser rio

Quien pudiera ser laguna …

Oir el silbo del junco

Cuando lo besa la luna …

Que cosas mas parecidas

Son tu destino y el mio:

Vivir cantando y penando

Por esos largos caminos

Tu que puedes, vuelvete …

Me dijo el rio llorando

Los cerros que tanto quieres

-me dijo-

Alla te estan esperando

Tu que puedes, vuelvete …

Tu que puedes, vuelvete …

I dreamed that the river spoke to me

With a voice of mountain snow

And sweet, it reminded me

The things of my love

You who can, come back...

the river told me crying

The hills that you love so much

-he told me-

They are waiting for you there

It's a sad thing to be a river

Who could be lagoon...

Hear the whistle of the reed

When the moon kisses him…

What more similar things

They are your destiny and mine:

live singing and suffering

down those long roads

You who can, come back...

the river told me crying

The hills that you love so much

-he told me-

They are waiting for you there

You who can, come back...

You who can, come back...
