The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Uruguaya" by Amaury Perez.
Lyrics
Con todas las maneras de acostumbrarse
A vivir del pasado y de los recuerdos
Con la sonrisa incierta como estandarte
Y todo el sol de Cuba por su cabello
Con esa forma suya de no quererse
De abandonarse al flujo de las mareas
El ala ya sin cielo de no atreverse
Y el aire del caribe para su acera
¡Uruguaya! Te llegará el invierno
Que no mate el retoño que ha nacido adentro
¡Dale tu voz, dale tu piel, tu alma
Para que no marchite tus entrañas!
¡Uruguaya! Que la desesperanza no encuentre
Tibio un lecho donde esperar el alba
La veo ir y volver bordoneando el puerto
Hasta ceder su ruido al de los motores
Al tacto del asfalto perdió la huella
Jamás sabrá a quien huye y de que se esconde
La veo ir y volver y la envuelve el humo
Hundiéndose en el hueco que deja al aire
Con esa forma suya de no atreverse
Con ese modo suyo de acostumbrarse
Lyrics translation
With all the ways to get used to it
To live from the past and memories
With an uncertain smile as a banner
And all the sun in Cuba for her hair
With that way of not loving each other
To abandon oneself to the flow of Tides
The wing already without sky not dare
And the Caribbean air for your sidewalk
Uruguayan! Winter will come
That it does not kill the offspring that has been born inside
Give him Your Voice, give him your skin, your soul
So your guts don't wither!
Uruguayan! May despair not find
Warm a bed where to wait for Dawn
I see her going back and forth around the harbor
Until it gives way to the noise of the engines
The touch of the asphalt lost its mark
He'll never know who he's running from and what he's hiding from
I see her go back and forth and she's wrapped in smoke
Sinking into the hollow that leaves in the air
With his way of not daring
With that way of getting used to it
