Canción Mixteca

How far I am from the ground where I was born!Que lejos estoy del suelo donde he nacido!
Immense nostalgia invades my thoughtsInmensa nostalgia invade mi pensamiento
And seeing myself so alone and sad like a leaf in the windY al ver me tan solo y triste qual hoja al viento
I would like to cry, I would like to die of sentimentQuisiera llorar, quisiera morir de sentimiento

Oh land of the Sun!, I long to see youOh tierra del Sol!, suspiro por verte
Now that I live far away without light, without loveAhora que lejos yo vivo sin luz, sin amor
And seeing myself so alone and sad like a leaf in the windY al verme tan solo y triste cual hoja al viento
I would like to cry, I would like to die of sentimentQuisiera llorar, quisiera morir de sentimiento
