Original text with translation
Mercedes Sosa
Si yo digo verde
A que usted no piensa
En el camalote
Y si digo agua
Usted no imagina el parana
Diciembre lo arranca
Desata su nudo con la madreselva
Y con el viene el agua
El viento del norte y la yarara
Y a su incertidumbre
Lento lagarto, raices negras
Se le pega el hambre
El aire pesado y la inundacion
Que no se detenga
Tu marcha lenta rumbo p’al mar
Es tan semejante
A nuestro delirio, a la soledad
Que te empuje el viento
Mi pensamiento o el temporal
Fuera de la orilla
Tu camarilla, camalotal
El rio que te acuna
Mete su lengua en el caserio
Bajo tu llanura
Juega el dorado, escondiendose
Silencioso ejercito
Panza de agua, patas de barro
Mamotretos de hojas
Verdes las aguas del invasor
yes i say green
that you don't think
in the camalote
And if I say water
You do not imagine the parana
December kicks it off
Untie your knot with the honeysuckle
And with it comes the water
The north wind and the yarara
And to your uncertainty
Slow lizard, black roots
Hunger hits him
Heavy air and flooding
don't stop
Your slow march towards the sea
is so similar
To our delirium, to loneliness
Let the wind push you
My thought or the temporary
off the shore
Your clique, camalotal
The river that cradles you
Put your tongue in the hamlet
under your plain
Play the gold, hiding
silent army
belly of water, legs of clay
Leaf Tombstones
Green the waters of the invader
