Confesión

Confession

Confesión

I come from a landVengo de una tierra
That is full of heart and willQue le sobra corazón y voluntad
I dream of the daySueño con el día
When there is enough reason to singEn que le sobre la razón para cantar.

I have two excuses waiting for meTengo dos pretextos que me esperan
To gift me their gazePara regalarme su mirada
I have more rewards each timeTengo cada vez más recompensas
I have fewer words each timeTengo cada vez menos palabras.

I come from a country,Vengo de un país,
From a region that is enchantedDe una región que está embrujada
By the natives who refusePor los indios que se niegan
To distance themselves from their raceA alejarse de su raza.

I've spent twenty yearsLlevo veinte años
Learning to appreciate itAprendiendo a valorarla
And in my childhood daysY en los tiempos de mi infancia
It seemed to have more magicParecía tener más magia.

I have a thousand excuses waiting for meTengo mil pretextos que me esperan
To gift me their gazePara regalarme su mirada
I have more rewards each timeTengo cada vez más recompensas
I have fewer words each timeTengo cada vez menos palabras.

I have a heartTengo un corazón
That never tires of missing itQue no se cansa de extrañarla
So many dreams and hopesTantos sueños y esperanzas
That remain in the soulQue se quedan en el alma.

I have a countryTengo a un país
Crossed in my throatAtravesado en la garganta
That doesn't let me leaveQue no deja que me vaya
Getting used to the distanceAcostumbrando a la distancia
