Miniera

When in every Mexican dive
Everyone dances to the Hawaiian vibe
A heartfelt song comes from afar
It's a miner, dark-skinned, who traveled far

His song feels like that of an exile
Sky of stars, sky the color of the sea
You’re the same sky over my little homestead
Take me in dreams back to my homeland!
Bring a heart that’s dying from nostalgia!

In the mine, it’s all a blaze of flames
Children, wives, sisters, mothers, all in pain
But suddenly the miner with the dark face
Says to the crowd: If everyone’s in doubt
I’ll go down there alone, I’ve got no one about!

And in the night, a cry lifts the hearts
Moms, they’re safe, the miners are coming back
Only the one with the dark face is missing
But to save him, there’s no one listening
Only the one with the dark face is missing
But to save him, there’s no one listening.
