Hasta La Raiz by Natalia Lafourcade

To the Root

I keep crossing rivers,

Walking through forests,

Loving the sun

Every day I keep pulling thorns

From the depths of my heart

At night I keep igniting dreams

To clean every memory with sacred smoke

When I write your name

In the white sand with a blue background

When I look at the sky, in the cruel form of a grey cloud,

You appear

One evening, climb a high hill

Look at the past

You will know that I have not forgotten

I carry you inside me, to the root

And, that you may grow better, you will be here

Although I hide myself behind the mountain

And find a field full of sugar cane

There will be no way, my moonbeam,

For you to leave

I think that every instant survived while walking

And every second of uncertainty

Every moment of not knowing

Are the exact key to this tissue

That I always carry under my skin

In this way I protect you

Here, follow me inside

I carry you inside me, to the root

And, that you may grow better, you will be here

Although I hide myself behind the mountain

And find a field full of sugar cane

There will be no way, my moonbeam,

For you to leave
