Lyrics
Que lejos estoy del suelo donde he nacido!
Inmensa nostalgia invade mi pensamiento;
Y al ver me tan solo y triste qual hoja al viento
Quisiera llorar, quisiera morir de sentimiento
Oh tierra del sol!, suspiro por verte
Ahora que lejos yo vivo sin luz, sin amor;
Y al verme tan solo y triste cual hoja al viento
Quisiera llorar, quisiera morir de sentimiento
Lyrics translation
How far I am from the ground where I was born!
Immense nostalgia invades my thinking;
And seeing me so lonely and sad qual leaf to the wind
I want to cry, I want to die of feeling
Oh Land of the sun! I sigh to see you
Now that far away I live without light, without love;
And seeing me so lonely and sad like a leaf to the wind
I want to cry, I want to die of feeling
