Dreaming from the Labyrinth Lyrics

WHEN IT RAINS/CUANDO LLUEVE

by Tish Hinojosa

As tears pound down upon my rooftop
The clouds are weeping as my heart once did for you
Once in a dream I saw the temple
The sky had dressed itself a brilliant shade of blue
Y cuando llueve yo recuerdo
And when it rains, thats when my thoughts come back to you

A storm of passion steals my sight
And once again I see your eyes
The night, the place that kept my heart

Esperare mañana
I'll wait until tomorrow
The sun will bring the break of day

El agua cai sobre mi techo
Las nubes lloran como si fuera yo por ti
Yo en un sueño vi el templo
El cielo se vestia de brilliante azul

And when it rains, oh I remember
Y cuando llueve me recuerdo mas de ti

Tormentas de un apacionar
Y estoy de aqui en la lugar
Donde quedo mi corazon

I'll wait until tomorrow
Esperare mañana
El sol traira el amanecer

And when it rains oh I remember
Y cuando llueve
And when it rains

WHISPER GOODBYE/LUEGO SE VA

by Tish Hinojosa

Say it's a sin
Somehwere between
Sinners and angels in boxes of tin
Painted in colors of wind, earth and sky
Kissing I love you
Whispering Goodbye
No hay amar
Sin castigar
Santos, pecadores de un solo altar
Pintado en colores del viento y del mar
Besa te quiero
Luego se va

Whispering Goodbye

Say it's a sin
Deeper within
Question unanswered by God or by man
Plegaria eterna sin dios contestar
Kissing I love you
Whispering Goodbye
Luego se va
Whispering Goodbye

Prayer
No hay amar
Sin castigar
Santos, pecadores de un solo altar
Pintado en colores del viento y del mar
Besa te quiero
Luego se va

No hay amar
Sin castigar
Flama votiva que alumbra pensar
Perdon de un cielo se puede encontrar
Besa te quiero
Luego se va

No hay amar
Sin castigar
Vida conoce desnuda disfras
Besa te quiero
Luego se va

EDGE OF A DREAM/ORILLA DE UN SOñAR


by Tish Hinojosa

Nos dejaron los Años
Placer amores engaños
Ven no te me alejes
Quiero darte mi querer

Years sometimes betraying
Love leaves without saying
Come before it is over
Let me give my heart to you

We'll sail upon a wind that blows above a misty sea
Dancing barefoot on the soft earth touching edges of a dream

I remember a moment
The book of happiness open
Let your eyes tell me the story
Like words burnt upon a page

We'll sail upon a wind that blows above a misty sea
Dancing barefoot on the soft earth touching edges of a dream

Volaremos en el viento en tinieblas junto al mar
Bailaremos sobre tierra a la orilla de un sonar

LAUGHING RUNS THE RIVER/RILLENDO CORRE EL RIO

by Tish Hinojosa

Corre corre, corre el rio
Rillendo el rio corre

Corre corre, corre el rio
Rillendo el rio corre

Bridge
Cuentame de las montañas, de tu empesar
Cuentame de piedra y pena que llevas al mar

Corre corre, corre el rio
Rillendo el rio corre

Corre corre, corre el rio
Rillendo el rio corre

Running running, laughing river
Laughing runs the river

Tell me of the highland mountains that your eyes have seen
Tell me of the stones and sorrows you take to the sea

Running running, laughing river
Laughing runs the river

Corre corre, corre el rio
Rillendo el rio corre

ATLANTICO

by Tish Hinojosa

Atlantico, Atlantico
Bajo la espuma duerme tu misterio
Atlantico, Atlantico
De quarto mares tu historia se perdio

Chorus: Cuando sirenas cantan
Los marineros bajan
Regresan al Atlantico

Atlantico, Atlantico
Bajo la arena se oyen voces que enterro
Atlantico Atlantico
Estrellas olas no diran que te paso
Atlantico

ATLANTICO (English)

Atlantico, Atlantico
A sleeping mystery lying underneath the foam
Atlantico, Atlantico
Four ancient waters keepers of your world unknown

Chorus: The sirens sing of sorrow
Sailors down they follow
Returning to Atlantico

Atlantico, Atlantico
Beneath the sands the sound of voices you called home
Atlantico, Atlantico
Shells and stars and waves they know and keep it for their own
Atlantico

BEYOND THE BATTLE OF MEN

by Tish Hinojosa

1: Feel the rush of the wind
Ancient eyes of the moon on the sand
Voices rise from the land
Beyond the battle of men

2: Lifting time through our hands
As it was and it will be again
Long before we began
Beyond the battle of men
Again
Beyond the battle of men

BATALLA DE HOMBRE

1: Siento al aire volar
Ojo eterno de lund alumbrar
Voces suben cantar
Batalla de hombre no habra

2: Tiempo en mano se va
Como tierra que siempre estara
Desde un antepasar
Batalla de hombre no habra
Haci
Batalla de hombre no habra

VIDA PRISIONERA/PRISONARY LIFE

by Tish Hinojosa

Vida prisionera
Boca traisionera
Como vez
Este amor

Besos
Brazos
Llantos
Cantos
Que me quedara
De ti?

Life imprisionary
Word of treason weary
How do you
See this love

Kisses
Wishes
Tears
Song traces
What is
Left of you
For me?

Esta Cancion/This Song

Con mil palabras
no se podria decir
que de unos ojos
se pueda hacer sentir

Un sueño nos acerca
pronto se
me va

Lo que quiero decir
sin por amor mentir
Esta concion es para ti

Alumbra una vela
en la obscuridad
con rezo dedicado
a un esperar

Lo que quiero decir
sin por amor mentir
Esta cancion es para ti

A thousand words
would take
what just one look can say

In dreams
we almost touch
the dream
it goes away

This heart could never lie
I want to say that I
Believe this song
belongs to you

A candle in the dark
A prayer to dedicate
A thousand miles
from here
& patiently it waits

This heart could never lie
I want to say that I
Believe this song
belongs to you

GOD'S OWN OPEN ROAD
by Tish Hinojosa
Somewhere neath a darkened sky
A weary heart a lonesome eye
Tracks along an empty highway
Lead to somewhere else

All my past & all my wishs
Tears reflect on muddy ditches
My own mind is searching for
An answer from the eyes that look right back

Bridge
I want to know about the outer reaches
Everything that heartbreak teaches
Questions of survival that in every soul exist
What about the endless sky
A child wants to know just why
The world spins round and people die
And does it hurt, well baby so do I

Walking on the streets I've known
A city that I once called home
A stranger now another time
That doesn't want me back

Poems in my native tongue
Whisper where I used to run
The river brushing by a shore
That knew it all along

Bridge II
Here I stood and there I dreamed
A future bright as magazines
Without the shades of sorrow in between
Where we've been & what we've seen
Are we taught or are we teaching
Reaching seeking needing preaching
Pleading speeding screeching to a halt

Cattle guards and power lines
Mark the distance of our times
Like wheels that roll and bell that toll
Of hours and aging wine

Love we gave and love we made
Gone astray and then forgave
Naked as a masquerade
For truth to figure out

Bridge III
Voices shout and voices sing
Words slip out and most stay in
Symphonies that live within the pockets of our soul
Colors of the open sea
Paint the edges of a dream
With crystal blue and deeper hues
Of wind and earth and God's own open road

SACRIFICES/SACRIFICOS

by Tish Hinojosa

Sacrificios, sacramentos de la vida
Religioso, el amor un tierno altar
Mi plegaria de rodillas sera esta
Que por siempre encendiera nuestro amar

Sacrifices, sacriments of life and living
Love's the altar where religiously we pray
Whispered softly like a prayer up to the heavens
Eternally our votive light will stay

Bridge
Bendecido, sera siempre aquel momento
Cuando yo a ti te conoci

Like a blessing, I still treasure the first moment
The sacriment of life brought you to me

El momento cuando yo te conoci
