These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Vengo de un prado vacío
I come from an empty meadow
Un país con el nombre de un río
A country named after a river
Un edén olvidado
a forgotten eden
Un campo al costado del mar
A field by the sea
Pocos caminos abiertos
few open roads
Todos los ojos en el aeropuerto
All eyes on the airport
Unos años dorados
a few golden years
Un pueblo habituado a añorar
A town accustomed to longing
Como me cuesta quererte
how hard it is for me to love you
Me cuesta perderte
I find it hard to lose you
Me cuesta olvidar
I find it hard to forget
El olor de la tierra mojada
The smell of wet earth
La brisa del mar
Sea breeze
Brisa del mar, llévame hasta mi casa
Sea breeze, take me to my house
Brisa del mar, llévame hasta mi casa
Sea breeze, take me to my house
Un sueño y un pasaporte
A dream and a passport
Como las aves buscamos el norte
Like birds we seek the north
Cuando el invierno se acerca y el frío comienza a apretar
When winter approaches and the cold begins to tighten
Y este es un invierno largo
And this is a long winter
Van varios lustros de tragos amargos
There are several decades of bitter drinks
Y nos hicimos mayores esperando las flores del Jacaranda
And we grew older waiting for the flowers of the Jacaranda
Como me cuesta marcharme
how hard it is for me to leave
Me cuesta quedarme
I find it hard to stay
Me cuesta olvidar
I find it hard to forget
El olor de la tierra mojada
The smell of wet earth
La brisa del mar
Sea breeze
Brisa del mar, llévame hasta mi casa
Sea breeze, take me to my house
Brisa del mar, llévame hasta mi casa
Sea breeze, take me to my house
Brisa del mar, llévame hasta mi casa
Sea breeze, take me to my house
Brisa del mar, llévame hasta mi casa
Sea breeze, take me to my house
