Mixtec Song

Lila Downs

Canción Mixteca

Que lejos estoy del suelo
Donde he nacido
Inmensa nostalgia
Invade mi pensamiento
Al verme tan solo y triste
Cual hoja al viento

Quisiera llorar
Quisiera morir
De sentimiento
Oh! Tierra del Sol
Suspiro por verte
Ahora que lejos
Yo vivo sin luz

Sin, amor
Y al verme
Tan sola y triste
Cual hoja al viento
Quisiera llorar
Quisiera morir
De sentimiento

Mixtec Song

How far I am from the ground
Where I was born
Immense nostalgia
Invades my thoughts
Seeing myself so alone and sad
Like a leaf in the wind

I would like to cry
I would like to die
Out of sentiment
Oh! Land of the Sun
I long to see you
Now that far away
I live without light

Without love
And seeing myself
So alone and sad
Like a leaf in the wind
I would like to cry
I would like to die
Out of sentiment
