Siempre Mi Gente Lyrics - Real Women Have Curves

Siempre Mi Gente

[ROSALÍ]
First, the army took my friends
Then they took away my father
Then los guerrilleros came
They took, took them all

They are whispers in the wind
Beating hearts in every shadow
Thanks to them, I found the strength
To start, start again

Even though they've gone away
They're always right beside me
My Salvador will always stay
Forever in my heart

Oh, the ones who've gone away
Live, like memories, insid? you
Every moment, ev?ry day
They're part of who, who we are

[ENSEMBLE]
Siempre, por siempre, mi gente live on inside us
Siempre, por siempre, we keep them alive

[PANCHA]
I got pregnant way too soon
Lost my chance to be his mother
My parents kept my son
And sent me away
I started working as a maid
Raising other people's children
I would cry myself to sleep
Wishing I could be home

But no matter what it takes
We'll be someday reunited
I will hold them in my heart
'Til we meet, meet again

[ENSEMBLE]
Oh, the pain is bittersweet
There is joy inside the nightmares
All of what we left behind
Is part of who, who we are

Siempre, por siempre, mi gente live on inside us
Siempre, por siempre, we keep them alive
