Dona del carrer [English translation]

I hear a strange cry. I direct my gaze towards from where it came and I see a grazing cow, and at its side a crazy woman, with arms extended, barefoot, who is dancing without direction. A boy passes beside me and I asked him "Child! Do you know who this woman is?" And he, embarrassed, replies to me: "The revolution."

I met a young girl without a village, without a city

Her black feet were barefoot, her hair in disarray

Her fiery eyes explained beautiful stories of the past

But closing them hid what was happening right then

And raising her hands in the air and with some movements of her head

Her waist drew infinities of freedom

Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai

Come here, woman of the street!

Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai

Come here, smile and dance.

Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai

Come here, woman of the street!

Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai

Come here and dance

And now I carry salt in my pocket to remember her when it's late

Salt, the heat of the salty ocean which if I'm lucky I will lick again

And raising her arms in the air, she cries to the sky to sing,

the song which never stops, which goes lai lai lailai lailai lailai lai lai!

Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai

Come here, woman of the street!

Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai

Come here, smile and dance.

Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai

Come here, woman of the street!

Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai

Come here and dance
