Translation
Rocío of All the Fields
Dew of all the fields
Salt spray of the sea
Your dance hypnotizes the moon
And the wind begins to sing
You light the fire in the night
Listen to the crickets talking
You undress your body and soul
To swim in the water
You will be free forever, forever
A purple butterfly among bamboo
You fire the clay in your hands
Passions of forbidden love
You fire the clay in your hands
Passions of forbidden love
Tears of loved ones1
Who go to your house to cry
Tears of all the close ones2
Of gatherings and of solitude
You light the fire in the night
Listen to ghosts walking
You undress your body and soul
To swim in the water
You will be free forever, forever
A purple butterfly among bamboo
Death came, luring your spirit
Wrapping your cloak
Death came, luring your spirit
And you left for the field
You will be free forever, forever
A purple butterfly among bamboo
Dew of all the fields
You will be free
Dew of all the fields
You will be free
Dew of all the fields
You will be free
Dew of all the fields
You will be free, you will be free

Comments
This song is a tribute to Natalia Lafourcade's friend Rocío Sagaón, a Mexican dancer, actor, choreographer, sculptor, ceramicist, and painter. I kept her name in the title instead of translating it.
