_______________________________

Tantas veces me mataron,
tantas veces me morí,
sin embargo estoy aqui
resucitando.
Gracias doy a la desgracia
y a la mano con puñal
porque me mató tan mal,
y seguí cantando.

Cantando al sol como la cigarra
después de un año bajo la tierra,
igual que sobreviviente
que vuelve de la guerra.

Tantas veces me borraron,
tantas desaparecí,
a mi propio entierro fui
sola y llorando.
Hice un nudo en el pañuelo
pero me olvidé después
que no era la única vez,
y volví cantando.

Tantas veces te mataron,
tantas resucitarás,
tantas noches pasarás
desesperando.
A la hora del naufragio
y la de la oscuridad
alguien te rescatará
para ir cantando.

"Como la cigarra", 1972
María Elena Walsh
arr.Quito Gato & Christina Pluhar

Like the Cicada

I was killed so many times.
I died so many times
however, here I am
reviving .
I thank misfortune
and I thank the hand with the dagger
because it killed me so badly
that I went on singing

Singing in the sun
like the Cicada
after a year
under the earth
just like a survivor,
that's returning from war.

So may times was I wiped away
so many times did I disappear,
I went to my own funeral
alone and crying
I tied a knot on my handkerchief
but then I forget
that it hadn't been the only time
and I went on singing.

Singing in the sun,
like the Cicada
after a year
under the earth
just like a survivor
that´s returning from war

So may times will you be killed
so many will you revive
how many years will you spend
despairing.
And at the moment of shipwreck
and that of darkness
someone will rescue you
to go on singing

Singing in the sun
like the Cicada,
after a year
below the earth
just like a survivor
returning from war.
