Extranjera

Foreigner

Extranjera

One day she left her townSe fue de su pueblo un día
Long ago, thinking of returningHace tiempo ya, pensando volver
She carried an old suitcaseLlevaba una maleta vieja
And in her heart, all her childhoodY en el corazón, toda su niñez

Just like a traveling birdIgual que un ave viajera
She had to emigrateElla tuvo que emigrar
Looking for a new life... ForeignerBuscando una vida nueva... Extranjera

She arrived in a distant countryLlegó a un país lejano
That gave her warmth, and a futureQue le dio calor, y porvenir
She fell in love with a boySe enamoró de un muchacho
Who gave her his love, and she was happyQue le dio su amor, y fue feliz

But when she thinks of her landPero al pensar en su tierra
She feels like cryingSiente ganas de llorar
And she wants to return to it... ForeignerY quiere volver a ella... Extrajera

Foreigner, foreignerExtranjera, extranjera
Your heart still calls out to youAún te grita el corazón
When a guitar playsCuando suena una guitarra
Or someone sings a song from your countryO alguien canta una canción, de tu país
You can't help it... ForeignerNo lo puedes evitar... Extranjera

Then the children cameDespués llegaron los hijos
And she had to fight, and make them growY hubo que luchar, y hacerlos crecer
And so the years went byY así pasaron los años
Without being able to go backSin dejarla ya, poder volver

But she goes to the sea and even if she's silentPero va al mar y aunque calle
Her soul remembersSu alma vuelve a recordar
When she was a girl on her beach... ForeignerCuando era niña en su playa... Extranjera

Foreigner, foreignerExtranjera, extranjera
You still feel it in your skinAún te sientes en la piel
When they talk to you about the landCuando te hablan de la tierra
That once saw you born, far from hereQue una vez te vio nacer, lejos de aquí
You can't help it... ForeignerNo lo puedes evitar... Extranjera

Foreigner, foreignerExtranjera, extranjera
Your heart still calls out to youAún te grita el corazón
When a guitar playsCuando suena una guitarra
Or someone sings a song from your countryO alguien canta una canción, de tu país
You can't help it... ForeignerNo lo puedes evitar... Extranjera

One day she left her townSe fue de su pueblo un día
Long ago, thinking of returningHace tiempo ya, pensando volver
