Translation of the song La Huída artist Mercedes Sosa
La Huída
The flight
¡Vamos, vamos! ¡burrito apura!
Come on, come on! Little donkey, hurry!
¡Vamos, vamos! ¡burrito apura!
Come on, come on! Little donkey, hurry!
Si no te apuras los van a pillar
If you don't hurry, they will catch them
Largo el camino, largo el salitral.
The way is long, and so is the salpeter deposit.
Ya tocan a degollar!
They are already blowing the horn to slit their throats!
Ya esta sangrando el puñal!
The dagger is already bleeding!
Si no te apuras los van a pillar
If you don't hurry, they will catch them.
Vamos! vamos! burrito apura!
Come on, come on! Little donkey, hurry!
Vamos! vamos! burrito apura!
Come on, come on! Little donkey, hurry!
Niño bonito, no lloris mi amor
Pretty boy, don't cry, my love
Ya llegaremos a tierra mejor.
We will arrive at better lands.
Duérmete ya, no lloris,
Fall asleep now, don't cry
Cuna en mis brazos te hare.
I will make you a cradle in my arms.
Bombos legüeros en mi corazón.
Drums in my heart.
Vamos! vamos! burrito apura!
Come on, come on! Little donkey, hurry!
Vamos! vamos! burrito apura!
Come on, come on! Little donkey, hurry!
