Tierra Salteña

Like the river that flows and never returns
like the road that fades into the distance
my life will also be lost
oh my beloved Salta
I will never see you again

I feel my life fading away
far away from your mountains
from the shack where I lived as a child
everything is far from me
I wish I could reunite with you

Embrace me in your embrace
Salta land because...
I want to die on your soil
feel like I own your loneliness

When I mention you my beloved Salta
I feel a deep pain in my chest
knowing that I will never see you again
I will die without your goodbye
oh Salta land, I'm leaving forever

The years weigh heavy on my back
from the tough journey through the fields
I sing to you northern land
this is your song
with my Salta soul, a singing child
