Patricia Sosa is a very famous singer from Argentina, well-known
throughout Latin America. I was able to find a CD of her Grandes Exitos
(Greatest Hits) through Barnes & Nobel's world music section in Anchorage,
AK. (Compilación © 1999 EMI).
Lyrics are by Sosa and the music by Mediavilla.

in a studio performance, with signing for hearing
impaired,
supported by Argentina's Department of Education. |

Duro es el camino
y sé que no es fácil
no sé si habrá tiempo
para descansar
en esta aventura
de amor y coraje
solo hay que
cerrar los ojos
y echarse a volar
y cuando el corazón
galope fuerte
déjalo salir
no existe la razón
que venza la pasión
las ganas de reír
|
ESTRIBILLO
puedes creer, puedes soñar
abre tus alas
aquí está tu libertad
y no pierdas tiempo
escucha el viento
canta por lo que vendrá
no es tan difícil
que aprendas a volar |
no pierdas la fe
no pierdas la calma
aunque aveces este mundo
no pide perdón
grita aunque te duela
llora si hace falta
limpia las heridas
que cura el amor
y cuando el corazón
galope fuerte
déjalo salir
no existe la razón
que venza la pasión
las ganas de reír
(ESTRIBILLO)
y no apures el camino
al fin todo llegará
cada luz cada mañana
todo espera en su lugar
(ESTRIBILLO) |

Hard is the way (road)
and I know it isn't easy
I don't know if there will be time
to rest
in this adventure
of love and courage
one need only
close your eyes
and launch into flight
and when the heart
gallops strongly
let it out
there is no reason
to squelch the passion
the urge to laugh
|
CHORUS
you can believe, you can dream
spread your wings
here is your freedom
don't waste time
hear the wind
sing for what will come
it's not that hard
for you to learn to fly |
do not lose faith
stay calm
although sometimes this world
does not ask forgiveness
scream as it hurts
cry if you need to
clean the wounds
love heals
and when the heart
gallops stongly
let it out
there is no reason
to squelch the passion
the urge to laugh
(CHORUS)
and do not rush the way
finally all will arrive
each light each morning
everything waits in its place
(CHORUS) |
