Lucía llevas ese nombreLucia you carry that nameDe una mujer que ya no estáFrom a woman who is no longer hereTenía las manos del trabajoShe had working handsY una risa que no se vaAnd a laugh that does not leaveCosía junto a la ventanaShe sewed beside the windowY le cantaba a la mañanaAnd sang to the morningElla no llegó a conocerteShe never got to meet youPero dejó la casa listaBut she left the house readyLa mesa larga y las macetasThe long table and the flowerpotsY el sol entrando en la cocinaAnd the sun coming into the kitchenDejó su nombre entre las cosasShe left her name among the thingsY hoy lo llevas tú LucíaAnd today you carry it LuciaLucía se dice tu nombreLucia your name is spokenY la casa entera respondeAnd the whole house answersLucía se dice tu nombreLucia your name is spokenY nada de lo que fue se escondeAnd nothing that was is hiddenUn día tendrás sus manosOne day you will have her handsY una risa parecidaAnd a laugh a lot like hersCoserás o no coserásYou will sew or you will notEso ya será tu vidaThat will already be your lifePero al decir LucíaBut when they say LuciaDos mujeres te miranTwo women look at youLucía se dice tu nombreLucia your name is spokenY la casa entera respondeAnd the whole house answersLucía se dice tu nombreLucia your name is spokenY nada de lo que fue se escondeAnd nothing that was is hidden

Where the name comes from

Lucía comes from the Latin lux, 'light' - traditionally associated with dawn or a bright disposition, and long connected to Saint Lucy, whose feast day centers on light during the darkest part of the year.

Why this moment matters

Carrying a great-grandmother's name forward is a quiet way of keeping someone present in a family who might otherwise only exist in old photographs.

The story behind this song

She carries her great-grandmother's name forward, two women now sharing the same one across the years between them.
