Canción Mixteca [English translation]

How far am I from the land

Where I was born

Immense homesickness

Invades my thought.

And seeing myself so alone and sad

Like a leaf in the wind

I want to cry

I want to die

Of grief.

Oh! Land of sun

I sigh to see you

Now so far away

I live without light, without love.

And seeing myself so alone and sad

Like a leaf in the wind

I want to cry

I want to die

Of grief.

Oh! Land of sun

I sigh to see you

Now so far away

I live without light, without love

And seeing myself so alone and sad

Like a leaf in the wind

I want to cry

I want to die

Of grief.
