A- Listen to the video and translate the lyrics
Hogueras salpican las colinas ondulantes
figuras danzan alrededor y alrededor
A los tambores que emiten ecos
de la oscuridad
Moviéndose hacia el sonido pagano.
Algún lugar en la memoria escondida
Imágenes flotan delante de mis ojos
De fragantes noches de pajas y hogueras
Y bailando hasta el siguiente amanecer.
Puedo ver luces en la distancia
Temblando en el oscuro
manto de la noche
Velas y linternas
Están bailando bailando
Un vals de la noche de todas las almas.
Figuras de tallos de maíz
Se doblan en las sombras
Sosteniendolas tan alto como las llamas saltan.
El caballero verde sostiene
el acebo
Para marcar por donde los viejos tiempos pasaban.
Puedo ver luces en la distancia
Temblando en el oscuro
manto de la noche
Velas y linternas
Están bailando bailando
Un vals de la noche de todas las almas..
Hogueras salpican las colinas ondulantes
figuras danzan alrededor y alrededor
A los tambores que emiten ecos
de la oscuridad
Moviéndose hacia el sonido pagano
De pie en el puente que cruza el río
que sale al mar
El viento está lleno de miles voces
que pasan entre el puente y yo.
Puedo ver luces en la distancia
Temblando en el oscuro
manto de la noche
Velas y Linternas
están bailando bailando
Un vals de la noche de todas las almas.
Puedo ver luces en la distancia
Temblando en el oscuro
manto de la noche
velas y linternas
estan bailando bailando
un vals de la noche de todas las almas
