El Provinciano

The Provincial
Crazy dreams pulled me out of my hometown
I left my house to see the city
I remember the happy day of my departure
Without thinking of anything, I drifted away from my land
And while my mother, so sad and crying
Said: My son, take my blessing with you
Now that I know the city of my golden dreams
And see the ambition I forged in my heart come true
It's when the disillusionment of this life saddens me
And I long painfully for my sweet home
I fought like a man to overcome and I made it
Reaching my desire to live in all its glory
In the midst of this happiness, nostalgia torments me
For the town where I left my heart
Crazy dreams pulled me out of my hometown
I left my house to see the city
I remember the happy day of my departure
Without thinking of anything, I drifted away from my land
And while my mother, so sad and crying
Said: My son, take my blessing with you
Now that I know the city of my golden dreams
And see the ambition I forged in my heart come true
It's when the disillusionment of this life saddens me
And I long painfully for my sweet home
I fought like a man to overcome and I made it
Reaching my desire to live in all its glory
In the midst of this happiness, nostalgia torments me
For the town where I left my heart
