Lyrics and translation Eugenia Leon feat. Vanessa Bauche - Patria
Hace
algún
tiempo
A
while
back
Me
preguntaba
un
chiquillo
A
child
asked
me
Por
el
significado
de
la
palabra
patria
What
is
the
meaning
of
the
word
homeland?
Me
sorprendió
con
su
pregunta
His
question
surprised
me
Y
con
el
alma
en
la
garganta
And
with
my
heart
in
my
throat
Le
dije
así...
I
told
him...
Flor
de
barrio
Flower
of
the
neighborhood
Hermanito
Little
brother
Patria,
son
tantas
cosas
bellas
Homeland
is
so
many
beautiful
things
Como
aquel
viejo
árbol
Like
that
old
tree
Que
nos
habla
y
renueva
That
talks
to
you
and
renews
you
Como
el
cariño
que
guardas
Like
the
love
you
keep
Después
de
muerta
la
abuela
After
your
grandmother
dies
Patria,
son
tantas
cosas
bellas.
Homeland
is
so
many
beautiful
things
Son
las
paredes
de
un
barrio
It's
the
walls
of
a
neighborhood
Desesperanza
morena
Hopeless
and
brown
Es
lo
que
lleva
en
el
alma
It's
what
every
person
carries
in
their
soul
Todo
aquel
cuando
se
aleja
When
they
go
away
Son
los
martires
que
gritan
It's
the
martyrs
who
shout
Bandera,
bandera
bandera,
bandera
Flag,
flag,
flag,
flag
No
memorices
lecciones
Don't
memorize
lessons
De
dictaduras
o
encierros
About
dictatorships
or
prison
La
patria
no
la
definen
Homeland
is
not
defined
Los
que
suprimen
a
un
pueblo
By
those
who
suppress
a
nation
La
patria
es
un
sentimiento
Homeland
is
a
feeling
En
la
mirada
de
un
viejo
In
an
old
man's
eyes
Sol
la
eterna
primavera
The
sun,
eternal
spring
Risa
de
hermanita
nueva
A
new
little
sister's
laughter
Que
contestó
Who
answered
his
question
Hermanito,
patria,
son
tantas
cosas
bellas.
Little
brother,
homeland
is
so
many
beautiful
things
