Ahora son años sin vernos por algo que llaman visa

Te estoy contando la historia de miles de personas

Que salieron por el sueño y para que sus hijos coman
Who came out to sleep and for their children to eat
Me separas de la niña, pones más lejos mis metas

Cuando no salía el sol, cuando íbamos a la escuela

El tiempo ese es mi reflejo y así será hasta que muera

Y me la paso pensando en cómo todo esto fuera
And I spend my time thinking about how all this was
La vida nos dio un buen don que no mezclo con cualquiera
Life gave us a good gift that I don't mix with anyone
Y aunque la frontera exista, va a existir manera
And even if the border exists, there will be a way
Ahora que me encuentro aquí
Now that I'm here
Que lo miro desde afuera
