  1. Pegadita a la luna, junto al mar de los sueños

    Close to the moon, by the sea of dreams

  2. Está mi tierra querida, de la que nadie es el dueño

    Is my beloved land, which no one owns

  3. Es la que llevo siempre en el corazón

    It’s the one I always carry in my heart

  4. Y aunque me vaya lejos, yo la canto en cada canción

    And even if I go far away, I sing it in every song

  5. Tan bonita, tan bendita

    So beautiful, so blessed

  6. Compartí mis secretos, los anhelos de mi alma

    I shared my secrets, the yearnings of my soul

  7. Bajo el árbol de la vida que me regaló su calma

    Under the tree of life that gifted me its calm

  8. Y aunque me pase el tiempo, no la olvido

    And even as time goes by, I don’t forget it

  9. Y no se muere el sentimiento por las cosas que he vivido

    And the feeling doesn’t die from the things I’ve lived

  10. Tan bonita, tan bendita

    So beautiful, so blessed

  11. Y aunque no estoy, nunca me iré, nunca me fui

    And though I'm not here, I will never leave, I never went away

  12. Siempre estoy contigo

  15. Con su cielo infinito y su manto de estrellas

    With its endless sky and its cloak of stars

  16. Vive la tierra mía con su gente tan bella

    Lives my land with its people so beautiful

  17. Estando lejos siento que me espera

    Being far away I feel it awaits me

  18. Y florecen mis recuerdos como cada primavera
