Frontera
Jorge Drexler
Border
I don't know where I'm from,
my home is on the border (REPEAT)
And the borders move,
like the flags. (REPEAT)
My homeland is a little corner,
the song of a cicada. (REPEAT)
The first two chords
I learned on the guitar (REPEAT)
I'm the son of a stranger
and a morning star,
and if there is love, they told me,
and if there is love, they told me,
all distance is overcome.
I don't have many truths,
I prefer not to give advice. (REPEAT)
Each one on their own path,
will learn the same in old age. (REPEAT)
That the world is as it is
because of certainties. (REPEAT)
War and vanity
eat at the same table. (REPEAT)
I'm the son of an exile
and a flower of the earth,
and as a child they taught me
the few things I know
about love and war.
