I Was Born Here

Yo Nací Aquí

I was born in this countryYo nací en este país
That tastes like sugarcane and cottonQue sabe a caña y algodón
That lights up long before the sun comes upQue se ilumina mucho antes de que salga el Sol
I was born in this countryYo nací en este país
Of poor kids made of starchDe niños pobres de almidón
In debt to the same ones who took it all awayEndeudados con los mismos que se lo llevaron todo

A country full of historyUn país lleno de historia
Of men and women made of concreteDe hombres y mujeres de hormigón
Full of courage and tendernessLlenos de coraje y de ternura
Full of passionLlenos de pasión
I was born in this country that movesYo nací en este país que va
With joys and painCon alegrías y dolor
With beautiful peopleCon gente linda
And with bastards who steal our dreamsY con canallas que nos roban la ilusión
Who aren't afraid of the futureQue no le teme al porvenir
Who won't be brought downQue no se deja derrotar
Who doesn't ask me for a visaQue no me pide visa
And to which I always want to returnY al que siempre quiero regresar

I was born in this countryYo nací en este país
That sometimes holds me backQue a veces me echa para atrás
Sometimes I resign, sometimes I want to escapeA veces me resigno a veces me quiero escapar
But I was born herePero yo nací aquí
Here I learned to walkAquí aprendí a caminar
Here I met you, here I fell in love with youAquí te conocí, aquí me enamoré de ti

This country full of historyEste país lleno de historia
Of men and women made of concreteDe hombre y mujeres de hormigón
Full of courage and tendernessLlenos de coraje y de ternura
Full of passionLlenos de pasión
I was born in this country that movesYo nací en este país que va
With joys and painCon alegrías y dolor
With beautiful peopleCon gente linda

And with bastards who steal our dreamsY con canallas que nos roban la ilusión
Who aren't afraid of the futureQue no le teme al porvenir
Who won't be brought downQue no se deja derrotar
Who doesn't ask me for a visaQue no me pide visa
And to which I always want to returnY al que siempre quiero regresar
