Quiero Volver

Today I woke up with the hope of going back
With my family and friends, I dream so much of being with you
Waking up in the mornings, embraced like this by my bed
An arepa, some slices, the coffee my mom makes

Today I'm just another one in another land, another city
I'm the buddy, I'm the dude, they call me the Venezuelan
I'm the life of the party, the one who laughs without shame
Even though I feel this sadness, nothing ever makes me feel inferior

I want to go back to feeling alive again
I don't want more tears in my eyes, I don't want to feel lonely anymore
Without my blankets, without my bed, I slept on the floor for 6 weeks
Money is enough for me here, without my family, it means nothing

I want to go back, that's the truth, I want to go back
I miss the air of my land, I carry you in my veins
I ask God to sustain me in my loneliness, my strength
Because no one knows how heavy it is to be far from Venezuela, I want to go back!

Today I woke up at the same time, just like yesterday
Straight to work, sweating here for my salary
One more day, one less day, it doesn't matter, I'm a worker
12 hours of work and I would be done

That's how the days go by, day by day in my agony
I'm just a foreigner, and I'm not because I want to be
I'm just another young person with a lot of desire to fight
With my will, with my determination, not just another one among the people
