No sabes cuánto te echo de menos
You do not know how much I miss you
Cuando estoy lejos
when I'm away
Porque siento, amigo, que ando por el mismo cielo
Because I feel, friend, that I'm walking through the same sky
Cuando me pierdo en sus calles llenas de recuerdos
When I get lost in its streets full of memories
Y aunque yo tengo esta pinta, detrás de ella hay un flamenco
And although I look like this, behind her there is a flamingo
Que se rompe la camisa cuando cantan por derecho
That tears the shirt when they sing for right
Vengo de buena familia, orgulloso puedo estar
I come from a good family, I can be proud
Nunca nos faltó cariño cuando no tuvimos pan
We never lacked love when we didn't have bread
La calle fue nuestra escuela, la música mi maestra
The street was our school, music my teacher
Gracias a mi papá yo pude cantar
Thanks to my dad I could sing
Son mis raíces
They are my roots
Las que brotan fuerte en mi corazón, lo sé
The ones that spring strong in my heart, I know
Quieren que mi persona le dé voz, tal vez
They want my person to give voice, maybe
Es mi destino el darle valor
It is my destiny to give value
Son mis raíces
They are my roots
Las que brotan fuerte en mi corazón, lo se
The ones that spring strong in my heart, I know
Quieren que mi persona le dé voz, tal vez
They want my person to give voice, maybe
Es mi destino, mi razón de ser
It is my destiny, my reason for being
Qué tontería, qué tontería
What nonsense, what nonsense
Que hay quien te cambia el oro por bisutería
There are those who exchange your gold for jewelry
Qué suerte la mía, qué suerte la mía
How lucky I am, how lucky I am
Haber nacido pobre en mi Andalucía
Having been born poor in my Andalusia
Porque es donde to' mi vida me la gozo siempre en paz
Because it is where I always enjoy my whole life in peace
Ni por to' el oro del mundo cambiaría mi tierra
Not even for all the gold in the world would I change my land
A mi gente a mis costumbres, a la fuente en la que bebo yo
To my people, to my customs, to the fountain from which I drink
No me la pueden comparar
You can't compare it to me
Son mis raíces
They are my roots
Las que brotan fuerte en mi corazón, lo sé
The ones that spring strong in my heart, I know
Quieren que mi persona le dé voz, tal vez
They want my person to give voice, maybe
Es mi destino el darle valor
It is my destiny to give value
Son mis raíces
They are my roots
Las que brotan fuerte en mi corazón, lo se

Quieren que mi persona le dé voz, tal vez
They want my person to give voice, maybe
Es mi destino, mi razón de ser
It is my destiny, my reason for being
Son mis raíces

Las que brotan fuerte en mi corazón, lo sé
The ones that spring strong in my heart, I know
Quieren que mi persona le dé voz, tal vez

Es mi destino el darle valor
