Because I love you
I closed my door one morning and set out
Because I love you
Because I love you
I leave the mountains and come to the sea
Your name tastes like grass to me
From the one that grows in the valley
By the blows of sun and water
I carry your name tied
In a fold of my waist
And in the bias of my petticoat
Because I love you
Because I love you
Even though you are far, I feel you close to my skin
Because I love you
Because I love you
The path becomes shorter
Because I love you
Because I love you
My voice breaks like the sky at dawn
Because I love you
Because I love you
I left the mountains and came to the sea
La-ra-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-ra-la-ra-la, la-ra, la-la-la
