Mi País

I left a goodbye without light
The day I left
Bus borders
Kilometers of faith
And a girlfriend on the platform
The streets that saw my childhood
The rush of hidden love
The neighborhood the soccer
The idleness, my parents
My childhood my innocence everything stayed there

My first setback
My first joy my first argument
My first melody
My first leap into the wind my first agony

My country
More than my homeland my root
More than my ground the womb
That taught me to give birth to thoughts

My country
More than my homeland my root
More than my ground the hue
That painted the path for me

My country, my country

I never wanted to be anything else
Than the happiest child on the planet
And even though nothing was rosy
And dreams were prohibited by the president
I went to the Moon and came back on a bicycle

My knees covered in mud my history notebook
My gang my nickname my failure and victory
My efforts of everything my country my memory

My country
More than my homeland my root
More than my ground the womb
That taught me to give birth to thoughts

My country
More than my homeland my root
More than my ground the hue
That painted the path for me
My country

How I wish to know that your people
Live happier
That some false children don't follow you
Painting in gray

My country
More than my heritage my root
More than my ground the womb
That taught me to give birth to thoughts

My country
More than my homeland my root
More than my ground the hue
That painted the path for me
My country
