Esclava
Natalia Oreiro
Slave
From the north, Lucía traveled to the big city,
Her little town, family, and sorrow left behind
Full of hopes for a dream that will catch her
They promised her a job in the capital.
With her best smile and her old suitcase,
Lucía sings as the sun sets.
Finally, two men come to fetch her, speaking to her,
They promise her many things and she accompanies them.
She never thought her dream
Would become a nightmare.
Those men lied to her,
They sold her as a slave.
Now she's locked up, forced to give herself away.
Lucía cries for her fate and can no longer refuse.
She can't find a way out of this situation,
Her dreams slipped away, she lost all hope.
She never thought her dream
Would become a nightmare.
Those men lied to her,
They sold her as a slave.
However, in this world
There's always a way out
That takes you out of the darkness
To soothe your wounds.
Distrust promises,
Seek urgent help
To save you from this anguish
And restore your joy.
