Canto Para Mi Pueblo

I sing for my town
A single verse turned into a song
It lives in silence
Rhythm and beat of my heart
Beautiful is the town where the breath is
Of a beautiful moon and a clear sun
I love it very much, I dream of my town
And when I'm far away, I suffer from affliction

That's why
I sing for my town
And my brothers this song
Some
Live far, very far
Always loving their nation

Beautiful is the town where the breath is
Of a beautiful moon and a clear sun
I love it very much, I dream of my town
And when I'm far away, I suffer from affliction

How many compatriots leave this land
To offer their back, their blood, and their vigor
Some go by land, others go by sea
Many have not arrived, perhaps they never will
They have disappeared in a thousand borders
Where they are received with bullets and insults
They left their children, friends, their home
Or a great love waiting and waiting
The mothers who cry, the mothers who pray
Hunger gives dreams, the desert is harsh
And even more the sadness of living so far away

And in the silence of those who left
The streets talk with concern
They know I love them, they are my grandchildren
How much I miss them
They know I love them, they are my grandchildren
Whenever they are far away, the heart hurts
