Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Buscando America by Rubén Blades from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Te estoy buscando a América y temo no encontrarla
I'm looking for America and I'm afraid I won't find it
Tus huellas se han perdido entre la oscuridad
Your footprints have been lost in the darkness
Te estoy llamando América pero no me respondes
I'm calling you America but you don't answer me
Te han desaparecido los que temen la verdad
Those who fear the truth have disappeared from you
Envueltos entre sombras, negamos es cierto
Wrapped in shadows, we deny it's true
Mientras no haya justicia, jamás tendremos paz
As long as there is no justice, we will never have peace
Viviendo dictaduras, te busco y no te encuentro
Living dictatorships, I look for you and I can't find you
Tu torturado cuerpo, no saben donde esta
Your tortured body, they don't know where it is
Si es sueno de uno es sueno de todos
If it is one's dream it is everyone's dream
Romper la cadena y echarnos a andar
Break the chain and get moving
Tengamos confianza para adelante mi raza
Let's have confidence moving forward my race
A salvar el tiempo por lo que vendrá
To save time for what is to come
Te han secuestrado América y amordazado tu boca
They have kidnapped you America and gagged your mouth
Y a nosotros nos toca ponerte en libertad
And it is our turn to set you free
Te estoy llamando América nuestro futuro espera
I'm calling you America our future awaits
Y antes que se nos muera te vamos a encontrar
And before she dies we are going to find you
Te estoy buscando América
I'm looking for you America
Te estoy llamando América
I'm calling you America
