Right There

Yahwe Mutabo

Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics

It was right thereEstaba justo ahí

from the beginningDesde el principio

It was right there all alongEstaba justo ahí todo el tiempo

I heard the gloryEscuché la gloria

Of your symphonyDe tu sinfonía

In the first word of your songEn la primera palabra de tu canción

It was right thereEstaba justo ahí

Right there inside youJusto ahí dentro de ti

From the moment you awokeDesde el momento en que despertaste

I heard your storyEscuché tu historia

And knew its meaningY supe su significado

In the first word that you spokeEn la primera palabra que dijiste

Saw the earthVi la tierra

It was a grain of sandEra un grano de arena

I held the universeSostenía el universo

In the palm of my handEn la palma de mi mano

They all were lookingTodos estaban mirando

But they did not seePero no veían

The unfolding of the futureEl desarrollo del futuro

That was in front of meQue estaba frente a mí

And it was right thereY estaba justo ahí

From the beginningDesde el principio

It was right there in your eyesEstaba justo ahí en tus ojos

I could have drowned inPodría haberme ahogado en

The mighty oceanEl poderoso océano

That was the first tear that you criedQue fue la primera lágrima que lloraste

I saw the treeVi el árbol

That would grow from the seedQue crecería a partir de la semilla

I saw the branchesVi las ramas

Reaching out into infinityExtendidas hacia la infinitud

They all were lookingTodos estaban mirando

But they did not seePero no veían

The unfolding of the futureEl desarrollo del futuro

That was in front of meQue estaba frente a mí
