The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Lo Unico Que Tengo" by Victor Jara.
Lyrics
Quién me iba a decir a mí,
cómo me iba a imaginar
si yo no tengo un lugar
en la tierra.
Y mis manos son lo único que tengo
y mis manos son mi amor y mi sustento.
No hay casa donde llegar,
mi paire y mi maire están
más lejos de este barrial
que una estrella.
Quién me iba a decir a mí
que yo me iba a enamorar
cuando no tengo un lugar
en la tierra.
Lyrics translation
Who was going to tell me,
how could I imagine
if I don't have a place
on Earth.
And my hands are all I have
and my hands are my love and my sustenance.
There's no home to get to.,
my paire and my maire are
further away from this neighborhood
than a star.
Who was going to tell me
that I was going to fall in love
when I don't have a place
on Earth.
