Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Todos Vuelven by Rubén Blades from Spanish to English.
Todos vuelven a la tierra en que nacieron
Everyone returns to the land where they were born
Al embrujo incomparable de su sol
To the incomparable spell of its sun
Todos vuelven al rincón de donde salieron
Everyone returns to the corner where they came from
Donde acaso floreció más de un amor
Where perhaps more than one love blossomed
Bajo el árbol solitario del pasado
Under the lonely tree of the past
Cuántas veces nos ponemos a soñar todos vuelven
How many times do we start dreaming, everyone comes back
Por la ruta del recuerdo
Down memory lane
Pero el tiempo del amor no vuelve más
But the time of love does not return again
El aire, que trae en sus manos la flor del pasado
The air, which brings in its hands the flower of the past
Y su aroma de ayer, nos dice muy quedo al oído
And its aroma from yesterday tells us very quietly in our ears
Su canto aprendido del atardecer
The song of her learned from the sunset
Nos dice, con voz misteriosa de cardo y de rosa, de luna y de miel
She tells us, with a mysterious voice of thistle and rose, of moon and honey
Que es santo el amor de la tierra
That the love of the earth is holy
Que es triste la ausencia que deja el ayer
That the absence that yesterday leaves is sad
Que es santo el amor de la tierra
That the love of the earth is holy
Que es triste la ausencia que deja el ayer
That the absence that yesterday leaves is sad
