The most beautiful thing
That life can give us
Is youth but slowly it goes away
You're twenty now, what are you still waiting for
You have your suitcase
It's time to leave.

Like a great friend
Who suddenly abandons you
I left
To never return
Maybe I've changed, I have my life but
You have no idea how much you come back to my mind along with her.

Country where you are born
You're like the first love
You can't forget
Country, I was ungrateful
She didn't eat
If I hadn't returned.

Country, she didn't understand
That deep down
One doesn't live only for love
No, she doesn't know
My country
This is the truth.

Thanking heaven
I can say it went well
And I don't remember that suitcase anymore
Now I have almost everything but when I think about it
What I miss
It's always and only you.

Country where you are born
You're like the first love
You can't forget
Country, I was ungrateful
She didn't sleep
If I hadn't returned.

Country, she didn't understand
That deep down
One doesn't live only for love
No, she doesn't know
My country
This is the truth.
