Extranjera
Miguel Gallardo
Foreigner
One day she left her town
Long ago, thinking of returning
She carried an old suitcase
And in her heart, all her childhood
Just like a traveling bird
She had to emigrate
Looking for a new life... Foreigner
She arrived in a distant country
That gave her warmth, and a future
She fell in love with a boy
Who gave her his love, and she was happy
But when she thinks of her land
She feels like crying
And she wants to return to it... Foreigner
Foreigner, foreigner
Your heart still calls out to you
When a guitar plays
Or someone sings a song from your country
You can't help it... Foreigner
Then the children came
And she had to fight, and make them grow
And so the years went by
Without being able to go back
But she goes to the sea and even if she's silent
Her soul remembers
When she was a girl on her beach... Foreigner
Foreigner, foreigner
You still feel it in your skin
When they talk to you about the land
That once saw you born, far from here
You can't help it... Foreigner
Foreigner, foreigner
Your heart still calls out to you
When a guitar plays
Or someone sings a song from your country
You can't help it... Foreigner
One day she left her town
Long ago, thinking of returning
