Dice el inmigrante [English translation]

He keeps his smile between his teeth

Walks from the south to the east

He carries the shadow that upholds

All the weight of the people who he loves the most

[chorus:]

He brings uncertainness

And a postponed smile

He brings a book, that's enough

Says the immigrant

He carries the cross of the outcast

Brings another language

Brings his family, that's enough

Says the immigrant

In his eyes he has all the mixture

Of anger, of doubt and sadness

He has to pay with oblivion

Tears of ports and exile

[chorus]
