El Provinciano
Jhonny Rivera
The Countryman
Crazy dreams took me out of my hometown
I left my home to see the big city
I remember the happy day of my departure
Without looking back, I moved away from my land
And while my mother was sad and sobbing
She said: My son, take my blessing
Now that I know the city of my golden dreams
And see my ambition come true, I forged my desire
It's when the disappointment of this life saddens me
And I long with pain for my sweet home
I fought like a man to overcome and I could achieve it
Reaching my longing to live in all splendor
In the midst of this happiness, nostalgia torments me
For the town where I left my heart
