Letra:
Cuentan que los vieron
corriendo juntos a los dos,
que los descubrieron
hacia el claro de sol.
Y juntos bebían
que hicieron brotar.
Y juntos veían
por las veredas
del bosque ansiedad.
Estaban condenados
en el bosque del Señor,
un bosque tan cerrado
que nunca veían el Sol.
Un día se vieron
las manos manchadas
de desolación.
Era sangre de ellos,
sangre derramada:
llagas de dolor.
¿Pero qué estamos haciendo?,
eres tú quién me hace daño
soy yo quien está hiriendo
nuestro amor.
¡Venga, ven! Tira las armas,
ven y fúndete en mi abrazo,
no caigamos en las trampas
del Señor.
Quiero que andemos tú y yo.
Secándose los llantos
empezaron a correr.
Cogidos de la mano,
con sangre en los pies.
Durmiendo en las ramas,
amando a escondidas:
"-lo que más quiero eres tú"
un día en su casa
el Señor moría
y vieron la luz.
Cuentan que prendieron fuego
al bosque y todas sus trampas,
Que quemaron esta hazaña
de dolor.
Cuentan que algún día llegaron
A esa aldea que buscaban
y que hicieron una casa
entre los dos.
¡Qué bien se vive bajo el Sol!
The song "Cenizas" by Govannon describes a tragic love story of two people who were caught in the forbidden forest of the Lord. They were seen running together towards the clearing where they found fresh water and beauty in the forest despite the dangerousness of it. They were trapped in the forest and unable to leave due to its thickness, which meant they never saw the sun. One day they both found their hands stained with blood derived from their love, indicating that something has gone wrong. The couple argued about who causes whom pain and hurt, and in the end, they decided to put down their weapons and be together. They fled the forest, hand in hand, with blood on their feet and hiding in the trees out of fear.
The story progresses with the Lord dying, and they set fire to the forest and their pains within it, thus cleansing the forest with fire. They eventually settled in a nearby village and built a home with one another. The song ends expressing the joy of living "under the sun." This can be interpreted in various ways, one such interpretation is that it's a metaphor for the couple finally being together after struggling through a tragic story.
