Fulanito

Pedro Capó

Fulanito

Fulanito se va pa' Estados Unidos
Otra lágrima en American Airlines
Empacó su lelolai
Los tereques y un abrigo
Entre abrazos y un quejido mudo
Bendición mamá

Dios te bendiga miio

Susurrando un padre nuestro en desconsuelo
Despegó del suelo que le vio nacer
No se ha ido y quiere volver
Se pregunta porqué se fue
Si con el tiempo se acostumbra
Y le deja doler tanto

Cuando uno se va
Nace una promesa
Para regresar
A dónde se empieza
Basta recordar
Que la sangre pesa
Lo que pesa el mar
Que abraza mi tierra
Sueñas con volver
Y yo quiero que vuelvas

Fulanito se persigna decidido
Aceptando el resto de su realidad
Fulanito no va pa' atrás
Aunque estar lejos sea un castigo
E intranquilo se pregunta
¿Si yo no consigo el pan?
¿Ay que será
De mi mamá?
¿Quién alimentará la
Esperanza de los míos?

Cuando uno se va
Nace una promesa
Para regresar
Para regresar
A dónde se empieza
Basta recordar
Que la sangre pesa
Lo que pesa el mar
Que abraza mi tierra
Sueñas con volver
Y yo quiero que vuelvas

Fulanito de mi raza
Donde tu vas yo voy contigo
Fulanito de mi raza
Donde tu vas yo voy contigo
Fulanito de mi raza
Donde tu vas yo voy contigo
Fulanito de mi raza
Donde tu vas yo voy contigo

Fulanito

Fulanito's heading to the United States
Another tear on American Airlines
Packed his bags tight
His belongings and a coat
Between hugs and a silent sigh
Bless you, Mom

God bless you, my dude

Whispering a prayer in despair
Took off from the ground that saw him born
He hasn't left and wants to come back
He wonders why he went away
If over time he gets used to it
And it still hurts so much

When someone leaves
A promise is born
To come back
To where it all begins
Just remember
That blood runs deep
As deep as the sea
That embraces my land
You dream of coming back
And I want you to return

Fulanito crosses himself, determined
Accepting the rest of his reality
Fulanito won't go back
Even if being far feels like punishment
And restless, he wonders
What if I can't find bread?
Oh, what will happen
To my mom?
Who will feed the
Hope of my people?

When someone leaves
A promise is born
To come back
To come back
To where it all begins
Just remember
That blood runs deep
As deep as the sea
That embraces my land
You dream of coming back
And I want you to return

Fulanito of my kind
Where you go, I go with you
Fulanito of my kind
Where you go, I go with you
Fulanito of my kind
Where you go, I go with you
Fulanito of my kind
Where you go, I go with you
