Vengo desde muy lejos
I've come from very far away
Buscando el azul del cielo
Searching for the blue of the sky
Siguiendo predicamentos
Following the teachings
Vengo desde muy lejos
I've come from very far away
Recuerdos desde mi infancia
Memories from my childhood
Que a veces parten el alma
That sometimes break the soul
Mi guate nunca la olvido
I never forget my home
La llevo siempre conmigo
I always carry her with me
Cansados de estar corriendo
Tired of running around
En tiempo de cacería
In hunting season
Alzo en alto mi vuelo
I lift my flight high
Como el ave que emigra
Like the bird that migrates
Uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh...
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh...
Vengo desde muy lejos
I've come from afar
Buscando el azul del cielo
Searching for the blue of the sky
Siguiendo predicamentos
Following the preachings
Vengo desde muy lejos
I've come from afar
Y como uno se aferra
And how one clings
A un pedazo de tierra
To a piece of land
Tarde o temprano llega
Sooner or later it arrives
Arde el aire sin tregua
The air burns without respite
Cansados de estar corriendo
Tired of running
En tiempo de cacería
In hunting season
Alzo en alto mi vuelo
I raise my flight high
Como el ave que emigra
Like the bird that migrates
Uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh...
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh...
Uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh
