Lejos de Mi Tierra

Far from My Land

Lejos de Mi Tierra

Maybe in my landTal vez en mi tierra
Things don't turn outNo se den las cosas
The way I'd likeComo yo quisiera
That's why my brotherPor eso mi hermano
From North AmericaNorteamericano
I crossed the borderCruzé la frontera

I left my homelandSalí de mi patria
Leaving everything behindDejandolo todo
Because it was necessaryPor que fue preciso
But you must have noticedPero habrás notado
I haven't stolenNada me he robado
From your paradiseDe tu paraíso

On the contrary, I cameAl contrario vine
For the greatnessPara la grandeza
Of that brotherly nationDe ese pueblo hermano
In your tough fightEn tu dura lucha
Against terrorismContra el terrorismo
We go hand in handVamos de la mano

It hurts meA mi me lástima
And my soul criesY me llora el alma
When they hurt youCuando te hacen daño
You, on the other hand, humiliate meTu en cambio me humillas
And discriminate against meY me discriminas
Like a strangerComo a un ser extraño

I offend you in nothingYo en nada te ofendo
When I offer youCuando te propongo
My honest workMi trabajo honrado
The little I haveLo poco que tengo
Before God, I swearAnte Dios lo juro
That I've earned itQue me lo he ganado

I already suffer enoughYa bastante sufro
Living so aloneCon vivir tan solo
Far from my peopleLejos de mi gente
It doesn't seem fair to meNo se me hace justo
That you even persecute meQue hasta me persigas
Like a criminalComo a un delincuente

And it doesn't seem fair to meY no se me hace justo
And it doesn't seem fair to meY no se me hace justo
And it doesn't seem fairY no se me hace justo

I offend you in nothingYo en nada te ofendo
When I offer youCuando te propongo
My honest workMi trabajo honrado
The little I haveLo poco que tengo
Before God, I swearAnte Dios lo juro
That I've earned itQue me lo he ganado

I already suffer enoughYa bastante sufro
Living so aloneCon vivir tan solo
Far from my peopleLejos de mi gente
It doesn't seem fair to meNo se me hace justo
That you even persecute meQue hasta me persigas
Like a criminalComo a un delincuente

It doesn't seem fairNo se me hace justo
That you even persecute meQue hasta me persigas
Like a criminalComo a un delincuente
