As Que Tiñan Que Estar Lyrics English Translation by Tanxugueiras
I looked to the sides and they were there,
Those who had to be.
And the gazes danced
Over the waves of the sea.
By my side, there they were,
Those who needed to be.
And the gazes danced
Over the waves of the sea.
I live sitting on a rock,
Letting life pass by.
I can still feel the breeze on my face.
I live sitting on a stone,
Letting life pass by.
Now I feel the breeze on my face.
Ailaralalala ailaralalala ailaralalara,
Ailaralalala ailaralalala ailaralalara.
I only wanted to be the platform,
To provide shelter for those who come after.
Tears that welled up in my eyes
Won’t see that they were washed away by the rain.
Even the tree I once planted
Will take a long time to grow,
But it will leave you with shade
Where I’ll never lie down.
I feel them close, those who gathered the stones
That hurt me as I walked.
I feel them close, being the earth,
And I’m about to shipwreck.
Ailaralalala ailaralalala ailaralalara,
Where I’ll never lie down.
Ailaralalala ailaralalala ailaralalara,
Where I’ll never lie down.
Ailaralalala ailaralalala ailaralalara.
I looked to the sides, and they were there,
Those who had to be.
By my side, there they were,
Those who needed to be.
