Reeencuentro (Patria Querida)
Alvaro Torres
Reunion (Beloved Homeland)
It had been so long since I stopped
To take you in that I had forgotten
Even the feeling of enjoying you
But today I went down to the depths of your soul
To where hope is alive
From where I once left to seek my fortune
Time flies, it’s been
Since I was a kid on these streets
Like any other, making a living in a thousand ways
In the neighborhood, there’s no one I know
New lives have sprung up, and I pray to the heavens
That God blesses the future of these kids
Take this song, beloved homeland
Written with nostalgia and melancholy
It’s my heart that finds inspiration
For in the distance, I miss you every day
Take this song, beloved homeland
Written with nostalgia and melancholy
It’s my heart that finds inspiration
For in the distance, I miss you every day
You’re more beautiful than anyone
You’d think you haven’t suffered
Because the scars you’ve
Covered with forgiveness and forgetfulness
A lot has happened in these years
But I want my friends to know
That I still remember them and miss them.
