There's a place where I've been told
Hay un lugar donde me han contado
Every street is paved with gold
Cada calle está pavimentada de oro
And it's just across the borderline
Y está justo al otro lado de la frontera
And when it's time to take your turn
Y cuando sea hora de que te toque
Here's a lesson that you must learn
Aquí hay una lección que debes aprender
You could lose more than you'll ever hope to find
Podrías perder más de lo que jamás esperaste encontrar
When you reach the broken promise land
Cuando llegues a la tierra de promesas rotas
Every dream slips through your hand
Cada sueño se te escapa de las manos
Then you'll know it's too late to change your mind
Entonces sabrás que es demasiado tarde para cambiar de opinión
'Cause you've paid the price to come so far
Porque has pagado el precio para llegar tan lejos
Just to wind up where you are
Just to wind up where you are
And you're still just across the borderline
And you're still just across the borderline
Up and down the Rio Grande
Up and down the Rio Grande
A thousand footprints in the sand
A thousand footprints in the sand
Reveal a secret no one can define
Reveal a secret no one can define
The river flows on like a breath
The river flows on like a breath
In between our life and death
In between our life and death
Tell me who'll be next to cross the borderline
Tell me who'll be next to cross the borderline
En la triste oscuridad
In the sad darkness
Hoy tenemos que cruzar
Today we have to cross
Este rio que nos llama mas alla
This river that calls us beyond
But hope remains when pride is gone
But hope remains when pride is gone
And it keeps you moving on
And it keeps you moving on
Calling you across the borderline
Calling you across the borderline
And when you reach the broken promise land
And when you reach the broken promise land
Every dream slips through your hand
Every dream slips through your hand
Then you'll know it's too late to change your mind
Then you'll know it's too late to change your mind
'Cause you've paid the price to come so far
'Cause you've paid the price to come so far
Just to wind up where you are
Just to wind up where you are
And you're still just across the borderline
And you're still just across the borderline
Now you're still just across the borderline
Ahora todavía estás justo al otro lado de la frontera
