Verse 1
Ví la luna chorreando sin parar
I saw the moon dripping non-stop
Su luz de catedral, y un barco viejo
Its cathedral light, and an old boat
Cruzando el mar de Sudamérica a Europa
Crossing the Sea from South America to Europe
Sobre un espejo lleno de sal
On a mirror full of salt
Aeroplanos cortando el celofán
Airplanes cutting cellophane
De un cielo tropical
From a tropical sky
Abriendo surcos van a llevar hacia el exilio o la vuelta
Opening furrows are going to lead to exile or the return
A los que ya no aguantaron más
To those who no longer endured
Chorus 1
Huellas en el mar
Footprints at sea
Sangre en nuestro hogar
Blood in our home
¿Por qué tenemos que ir tan lejos
Why do we have to go so far
Para estar acá, para estar acá?
To be here, to be here?
Verse 2
Nos quedamos por tener fe
We stayed for faith
Nos fuimos por amar
We left for love
Ganamos algo y algo se fue
We won something and something went
Algunos hijos son padres
Some children are parents
Y algunas huellas ya son la piel
And some footprints are already the skin
Chorus 2
Huellas en el mar
Footprints at sea
Sangre en nuestro hogar
Blood in our home
¿Por qué tenemos que ir tan lejos
Why do we have to go so far
Para estar acá, para estar acá?
To be here, to be here?
