Amurkriki
Amukiriki, amukiriki
The Lord willing
I`ll be with you

A distant journey
A safe tomorrow
Amukiriki
Then you`ll hold me as
I always want you to

In Mexico, amukiriki
Is as old as Mexico
And it means the
Lord be willing if
The Lord shall will it so

Only then
Will there be harvest
Only then will rivers flow

No more adios to you
I`ll be close to you if
The Lord shall will it so

Amurkriki
Amukiriki, amukiriki

And so I say amukiriki
With you deep inside my heart
Knowing that the Lord be willing
We won`t always be apart

After many purple twilights
We will see a morning glow
And I will run to you
Bring the sun to you if
The Lord shall will it so

Amurkriki
Amukiriki, amukiriki
The Lord willing
I`ll be with you

Beyond the mountain
Across the river
Amukiriki
Then you`ll hold me as
I always want you to

Amurkriki
Amukiriki, amukiriki
