Black Eyes
I am excited and so happy
because today I begin the journey back to you.
The days of work were long.
At night, tiredness doesn't let me sleep.
Dear Amatepec,
three years have passed since I last saw you,
family, friends, stayed there.
What is most dear is so far away,
the wheel of destiny turns
and today I begin the journey... for you.
Black eyes, this song is for you,
my whole life, my devotion.
Black eyes, I answer your call
and return to you.
Dear Amatepec,
three years have passed since I last saw you,
hopefully injustice and hunger
do not live there anymore.
Freedom is not far away
because today I begin the journey back to you.
The steps that took me away,
are the same ones that bring me closer today.
Only the road separates us,
long and difficult road, my love.
What is most dear: protect us.
Protect us - from the injustice of the powerful
Protect us - from lies and hypocrisy
Protect us - from the dangers of the road
Protect us - to arrive safely.
