Fulanito

Fulanito's heading to the United StatesFulanito se va pa' Estados Unidos
Another tear on American AirlinesOtra lágrima en American Airlines
Packed his bags tightEmpacó su lelolai
His belongings and a coatLos tereques y un abrigo
Between hugs and a silent sighEntre abrazos y un quejido mudo
Bless you, MomBendición mamá

God bless you, my dudeDios te bendiga miio

Whispering a prayer in despairSusurrando un padre nuestro en desconsuelo
Took off from the ground that saw him bornDespegó del suelo que le vio nacer
He hasn't left and wants to come backNo se ha ido y quiere volver
He wonders why he went awaySe pregunta porqué se fue
If over time he gets used to itSi con el tiempo se acostumbra
And it still hurts so muchY le deja doler tanto

When someone leavesCuando uno se va
A promise is bornNace una promesa
To come backPara regresar
To where it all beginsA dónde se empieza
Just rememberBasta recordar
That blood runs deepQue la sangre pesa
As deep as the seaLo que pesa el mar
That embraces my landQue abraza mi tierra
You dream of coming backSueñas con volver
And I want you to returnY yo quiero que vuelvas

Fulanito crosses himself, determinedFulanito se persigna decidido
Accepting the rest of his realityAceptando el resto de su realidad
Fulanito won't go backFulanito no va pa' atrás
Even if being far feels like punishmentAunque estar lejos sea un castigo
And restless, he wondersE intranquilo se pregunta
What if I can't find bread?¿Si yo no consigo el pan?
Oh, what will happen¿Ay que será
To my mom?De mi mamá?
Who will feed the¿Quién alimentará la
Hope of my people?Esperanza de los míos?

When someone leavesCuando uno se va
A promise is bornNace una promesa
To come backPara regresar
To come backPara regresar
To where it all beginsA dónde se empieza
Just rememberBasta recordar
That blood runs deepQue la sangre pesa
As deep as the seaLo que pesa el mar
That embraces my landQue abraza mi tierra
You dream of coming backSueñas con volver
And I want you to returnY yo quiero que vuelvas
