Translation
The Maritza
The Maritza is my river,
like the Seine is yours
But now my father is
the only one who remembers
Sometimes
Since I was ten years old
I've had nothing at all
Not even the most pitiful doll
Nothing more than a little tune
Of times gone by:
La la la la...
All the birds of my river
Sang to us about liberty
I hardly understood
But my father, he knew
To listen
When the horizon became too dark
All the birds left
On trails of hope
And we followed them,
To Paris
[Spoken:]
Since I was ten years old
There's been nothing left...nothing
And yet when I close my eyes
I hear my father sing
La la la la
