Los Que Se Quedan, Los Que Se Van
Desorden Público
The Ones Who Stay, The Ones Who Leave
Tomorrow is the day
Your suitcases are ready
You must arrive at least 4 hours
Before at Simón Bolívar airport
You can't sleep
You feel your soul emptying
How immense, the vertigo
All the memories of your life come
The ones who stay, the ones who leave
Someday will return
The ones who stay, the ones who leave
Someday will return
In another land you will be a seed
A new home, a family
You will move forward like an elephant
Brave first and constant
When melancholy hits
With your postcards, your music, your food
You will proudly say where you come from
Your heart will jump when you connect
The ones who stay, the ones who leave
Someday will return
The ones who stay, the ones who leave
Someday will return
Where is Juan?
He's in Panama
Valentina
Where is Luisa?
She's in Switzerland
And Cristina in Argentina
And La Gorda in Colombia
And Ramón in Japan listening to Oscar de León
Patricia in Canada
Esperanza is in France
Antonio, Aurora, Yvette are in the USA
Zurima in India humming Simón Díaz
And Nadia in Spain and Sofía in Turkey
Vanessa in Mexico, Fernando is in Chile
La Gocha in Scotland, Nicanor in Ecuador
Estrella in Italy frying empanadas
Carlitos in Germany, Nataly is in Brazil
Ana in the Dominican Republic remembering Choroní
El Cumanés in Arabia, la Maracucha is in Russia
Manuela in Australia but she would like to be in Caracas
Someday will return
Someday will return
Someday will return
Someday will return
Someday will return
