_____
I hear that cry from the drums and the timbales when they jam
_____
And that street call that a brother sings
_____
Who lives far from his homeland
_____
And that the memory makes him cry
_____
A song that he keeps singing
_____
About his pain, about his own weeping
And you can hear him lament
_____
Deep in the soul when you're not here
_____
The land sighs if it doesn't see you anymore
The land where you were born
Because it holds your roots
And what you leave behind
_____
Deep in the soul when you're not here
_____
And every night next to the moon
_____
The guajiro keeps singing the son
_____
And every street that goes to my town
_____
Has a moan, has a lament
Has nostalgia like his voice
_____
That song that he keeps singing
_____
Runs in the blood and keeps reaching
With more strength to the heart
_____
Deep in the soul when you're not here
_____
The land sighs if it doesn't see you anymore
_____
I carry it in my feelings, yes sir
_____
I carry it inside, of course
_____
Song of my beautiful and sacred land
_____
Suffers that pain that is in its soul
_____
Even though I'm far away I feel it
_____
And one day I'll return, I know it
_____
Every night next to the moon the guajiro keeps singing the son
_____
Every street that goes to my town
_____
Has a moan, has a lament
The nostalgia of his voice
_____
Reaches my heart with strength
_____
Deep in the soul when you're not here
_____
The land sighs if it doesn't see you anymore
