Patria Querida

It had been so long
Since I stopped
To contemplate you
That I had forgotten
Even the feeling of enjoying you
But today I descended
To the depths of your womb
To that place where life is lived
On hopes
From where one day I went to seek my fortune

Time flies
I know that in these streets
I was a child
Like anyone
Earning my living in a thousand trades
In the neighborhood there's no one
Familiar
New lives have sprung up
And I look to the sky
May God bless the future of these children

Take this song Beloved Homeland
Written with nostalgia
And with melancholy
It's my heart that is inspired
For in the distance
I long for you every day
Take this song Beloved Homeland
Written with nostalgia
And with melancholy
It's my heart that is inspired
For in the distance
I long for you every day

You are more beautiful
Anyone would think
That you haven't suffered
Because the scars
You have covered with forgiveness and forgetfulness
Many things have happened in these years
But I want my friends to know
That I still remember them and miss them

Take this song Beloved Homeland
Written with nostalgia
And with melancholy
It's my heart that is inspired
For in the distance
I long for you every day
Take this song Beloved Homeland
Written with nostalgia
And with melancholy
It's my heart that is inspired
For in the distance
I long for you every day
Take this song
Beloved Homeland (beloved)
Written with nostalgia
And with melancholy (melancholy)
It's my heart that is inspired (my land)
For in the distance
I long for you every day
Take this song beloved homeland
Written with nostalgia
And with melancholy
It's my heart
