Sonando por tu Valle Lyrics English Translation by Daviles de Novelda
Life left me with a lot of scars
Some fade away, some stay forever in the dark
Music’s always been my one way out
That’s why I’ll keep singing, even when I’m running out of sound
Thanks to the one above, ’cause He’s the greatest
Always walks beside me, no matter where the place is
He gave me bread when I was hungry in the night
And I turned my back, chasing what didn’t feel right
Pain and sorrow, fights and shouts
Problems kept coming, worse with every round
Fridge was empty—just two lemons in sight
Dad broke his back working day and night
Mama, don’t cry—I’m finding my strength
Look at the money from the show I brought you today
Don’t bend your back now, I want you to rest
I’ll fill up your fridge so you’ll never work again
Music sets my spirit free
Let my heart beat wild and free
I’m not that soft kid I used to be
My soul feels like it can’t be beat
No more—
They won’t ever make me quiet
My soul keeps singing loud
Echoing through your whole valley (x2)
A toast to everyone who stayed in those days
The ones who believed when I had no pay
When we had no clothes and little food to eat
But even in the struggle, joy didn’t skip a beat
Cousin, man, look how the time flies
Feels like just yesterday we gave this dream a try
Some said we didn’t have enough skill
But we made it fast, while they’re standing still
Hypocrisy lives in people who fake it
Smiles on their face, but inside they can’t take it
Don’t trust in man—that’s straight from the Word
I give it all for my family, they come first
It hurts when you ask and nobody’s there
But I learned to be strong, like Ilia in despair
Sleepless nights, just me on watch
My Christ protects me—He never stops
Music sets my spirit free
Let my heart beat wild and free
I’m not that soft kid I used to be
My soul feels like it can’t be beat
No more—
They won’t ever make me quiet
My soul keeps singing loud
Echoing through your whole valley (x2)
