Entre a mi pago sin golpear [English translation]

My suffering was great when I was far from home

So much running never to arrive anywhere

Because what I was looking for out there was where I was born.

Friendship that is neither bought nor sold is gold

It's only there when it's felt in the chest

It's not something to use only when it serves you right.

That's how my fellow countrymen are in friendship

Their hands are a piece of bread and prepared mate tea.

And the flower of humility usually perfumes their farm

I borrowed life from them and I have to return it.

I'll wait till the creator calls me to deliver me

May my bones, skin and salt fertilize my homeland.

The moon is a lump that illuminates with borrowed light

Only when she sings coplas of the soul

The sun explodes in her heart and climbs up on her voice

Singer, what do you sing for if your verses don't say anything?

Oh, why would you silence the silence?

If silence is a song full of spirits in the voice

My people are a singer that sings a chacarera

They shouldn't sing what they don't feel deep inside

If you want to listen

Enter my home without knocking

I borrowed life from them and I have to return it.

I'll wait till the creator calls me to deliver me

May my bones, skin and salt fertilize my homeland.
