Lyrics
Que lejos estoy del suelo donde he nacido!
Inmensa nostalgia invade mi pensamiento;
Why al ver me tan solo why 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;
Why al verme tan solo why 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;
Why to see me just why 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;
Why to see me alone why sad as a leaf to the wind,
I want to cry, I want to die of feeling.
