I continue crossing rivers

Walking through jungles

Loving the sun

Every day I continue removing thorns

From the depths of my heart

At night, I continue lighting dreams

To cleanse with the sacred smoke

Every memory

When I write your name

On the white sand with a blue background

When I look at the sky

In the cruel form of a gray cloud

You appear

One afternoon, I climb a high hill

I look at the past

You'll know that I haven't forgotten you

Chorus 1

I carry you inside

To the root

And no matter how much I grow

You're going to be here

Although I hide behind the mountain

And I find a field full of sugarcane

There won't be a way, my ray of moonlight

That you leave

Verse 2

I think that every moment

Survived while walking

And every second of uncertainty

Every moment of not knowing

They're the exact key to this fabric

That I'm carrying under my skin

That's how I protect you

You're still here inside

Chorus 2

I carry you inside

To the root

And no matter how much I grow

You're going to be here

Although I hide behind the mountain

And I find a field full of sugarcane

There won't be a way, my ray of moonlight

That you leave

That you leave

Chorus 3

I carry you inside

To the root

And no matter how much I grow

You're going to be here

Although I hide behind the mountain

And I find a field full of sugarcane

There won't be a way, my ray of moonlight

That you leave

That you leave

Chorus 4

I carry you inside

To the root

And no matter how much I grow

You're going to be here

Although I hide behind the mountain

And I find a field full of sugarcane

There won't be a way, my ray of moonlight

That you leave
