The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Montevideo" by Jorge Drexler.
Lyrics
Yo tengo pintada en la piel a lágrima de esta ciudad
La misma que da de beber, la misma te hará naufragar
Yo tengo en la piel su sabor un leve resabio de sal
Que nunca he sabido esconder, que nunca he sabido mirar
Si dejo elegir a mis pies
Me llevan camino del mar
Me llevan camino del mar
Me llevan camino del mar
El mar que me trajo hasta aquí, el puerto en que habré de zarpar
Un día pensando en volver, un día volviendo a escapar
Un día cualquiera me iré, dejando su lágrima atrás
La pena que haga partir, la misma me hará regresar
Si dejo elegir a mis pies
Me llevan camino del mar
Me llevan camino del mar
Me llevan camino del mar
Me llevan camino del mar
Me llevan camino del mar
Me llevan camino del mar
Si dejo elegir a mis pies
Me llevan camino del mar
Me llevan camino del mar
Me llevan camino del mar
Lyrics translation
I have painted on the teardrop skin of this city
The same that gives to drink, the same will make you shipwreck
I have in my skin its taste a slight resabio of salt
That I never knew how to hide, that I never knew how to look
If I let my feet choose
They're taking me to the sea
They're taking me to the sea
They're taking me to the sea
The sea that brought me here, the port where I shall set sail
One day thinking about coming back, one day running away again
Someday I'll leave, leaving her tear behind
The pain I make to leave, the same will make me return
If I let my feet choose
They're taking me to the sea
They're taking me to the sea
They're taking me to the sea
They're taking me to the sea
They're taking me to the sea
They're taking me to the sea
If I let my feet choose
They're taking me to the sea
They're taking me to the sea
They're taking me to the sea
