El País Del Interior

My grandfather told me one day
That if I sing my song
And I keep telling what happens
To the country of the interior
I will have to sing for everyone
That's how my song serves
There are already many who sing well
To the landscape and to love

The country of our people
The one that I am and you
The ashy and pure country
With a simple heart
The one that sometimes stays alone
Like a child without love
The one that always starves
If he works as a laborer

The country that despite everything
Death did not silence
The one that disappeared
But never gave up
The one that had a gringo grandfather
Who arrived and rolled up his sleeves
And had another Indian grandfather
Who never resigned

The country I'm telling you about
The one that can still be a song
The one that now for a chamarrita
I'm singing in G major

The country we gave birth to together
The country of the interior
The one that us 'cabecitas negras'
Built from sunrise to sunset
The country we are now going for
Once again looking for each other
The country that looks inward
The one that is you and me
