The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Frontera" by Jorge Drexler.
Lyrics
Soy hijo de un forastero
y de una estrella del alba,
y si hay amor, me dijeron,
y si hay amor, me dijeron,
toda distancia se salva.
No tengo muchas verdades,
prefiero no dar consejos. (BIS)
Cada cual por su camino,
igual va a aprender de viejo. (BIS)
Que el mundo está como está
por causa de las certezas (BIS)
La guerra y la vanidad
comen en la misma mesa (BIS)
Soy hijo de un desterrado
y de una flor de la tierra,
y de chico me enseñaron
las pocas cosas que sé
del amor y de la guerra.
Lyrics translation
I am the son of a stranger
and a dawn star,
and if there is love, they told me,
and if there is love, they told me,
all distance is saved.
I don't have many truths,
I prefer not to give advice. (BIS)
Everyone on their way,
maybe he'll learn when he's old. (BIS)
That the world is as it is
because of certainties (BIS)
War and Vanity
they eat at the same table (BIS)
I am the son of an outcast
and a flower of the Earth,
and as a boy they taught me
the few things I know
love and war.
