Lyrics
Guarda la risa entre los dientes
Marcha del sur para el este
Lleva la sombra que sostiene
Todo el peso de la gente que mas quiere
Lleva incertidumbre
Y la risa postergada
Lleva un libro, eso es bastante
Dice el inmigrante
Lleva la cruz del marginado
Lleva otro idioma
Lleva su familia, eso es bastante
Dice el inmigrante
Lleva en sus ojos toda la mezcla
De la rabia, de la duda y la tristeza
Tiene que pagar con el olvido
Lágrima de puerto y de destierro
Lyrics translation
Keep the laughter between your teeth
March from the south to the East
It carries the shadow that holds
All the weight of the people who love the most
It carries uncertainty
And the Deferred laughter
He's carrying a book, that's quite a lot.
Says the immigrant
He bears the Cross of the outcast
It has another language
He carries his family, that's quite a lot
Says the immigrant
He wears in his eyes all the mixture
From anger, from doubt and sadness
He has to pay with oblivion
Port and banishment tear
